The walk
It's the home stretch to Santiago de Compostela, and the last 100 kilometers await you... The route takes in Galicia, a region steeped in Celtic culture, where you'll experience the final stages of the Great Way of St. James. You won't want to miss the moving arrival in the city of Santiago and the passage to Monte de Gozo. After crossing the Porta do Camino, the streets and alleys of the old town will welcome you. The arrival in front of the cathedral's huge forecourt brings your long and beautiful journey along the Camino de Santiago to a grand finale.
