The clauses are identifying rather than attributive because, inter alia, they are reversible:

for many tourists [[visiting Galicia]] a must see is this magical city
for the many pilgrims [[ending their Camino de Santiago]] a welcome site is this magical city

(Note that here each Token attracts the tonic, which means it also functions as Identifier, which means the clauses are encoding not decoding.)
