Camino de Santiago: The Final Stage

Walk the final stage of the French Way of the Camino de Santiago, trekking from Lavacolla and Monte do Goza to the Praza do Obradoiro.

Camino de Santiago: The Final Stage

After meeting at the scheduled time on Rúa de Tras Salomé, you will board a vehicle to Lavacolla. Upon arrival, you'll receive a hat, a trekking pole, and a map for the final section of the Camino de Santiago. You will embark on this trek independently.

Starting from the church in Lavacolla, head towards Monte do Gozo, where you will see the cathedral in Santiago. A guide will provide historical context at this location, including references to Pope John Paul II and two large statues of pilgrims. This marks the final stretch.

Continue your trek to Santiago, where your guide will meet you again at the Praza do Obradoiro. After learning about the history of the square, you will receive a certificate confirming the completion of this stage of the Camino. The tour concludes at the Holy Door of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, taking a total of 3 to 3.5 hours.

Important

The guide will assist you at Lavacolla, Monte do Gozo, and Praza do Obradoiro. However, the trek between these points (6.2 miles of the Camino de Santiago) will be conducted independently, without the guide’s accompaniment. The certificate issued at the end is not an official Certificate of Distance or completion.
