Carme de Abaixo occupies a privileged position in the city of Santiago de Compostela, thanks to its situation next to River Sarela, where the city and the country meet in that peculiar manner that gives rise to the "rueiros" (old streets lined with traditional buildings), as well as to the fact that it enjoys an excellent panoramic view of the historic city. This is a powerfully characterized place that shows the accumulation of structures that come together there and sink their roots in the past; here are the principal elements that configure the essence of the urban fabric surrounding the old district of Santiago de Compostela, where different stages of the city's evolution are captured, as well as the way they are implanted in the territory.
