If you’re in Santiago de Compostela or planning to visit, you can take advantage of an afternoon to visit some nearby go-kart tracks. They aren’t very close to the city, but fortunately, they’re not too far either.
Unfortunately or fortunately, Santiago de Compostela does not have its own go-kart tracks, but there are several relatively close and high-quality tracks. Here they are:
