Language Although Santiago de Compostela is a Spanish-speaking city where Castilian is an accepted tongue, the true local language is Galician. This is a Romance language related to Spanish but also with strong affinities to Portuguese, especially in vocabulary and syntax. Over 90% of the region’s population are estimated to understand Galician, and it is prevalent in rural areas and on local radio.
