Walk the final stage of the French Way of the Camino de Santiago, trekking from Lavacolla and Monte do Goza to the famed Praza do Obradoiro- a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Camino de Santiago: The Final Stage

Meet at Rúa de Tras Salomé to board a vehicle to the A Coruña town of Lavacolla. In Lavacolla, you will receive a hat, trekking pole, and a map for the final section of the Camino de Santiago. You will trek from the church in Lavacolla towards Monte do Gozo, where you will catch the first glimpse of the cathedral in Santiago. The guide will provide explanations about the route and its history, including figures representing Pope John Paul II and two giant statues of pilgrims that point to Santiago.

Continue the trek to Santiago, where your guide will meet you at the Praza do Obradoiro. After providing information about this monumental square, a certificate for completing this stage of the Camino will be issued to you. The tour concludes at the Holy Door of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela after approximately 3 to 3.5 hours.

Important

The guide will accompany you at Lavacolla, Monte do Gozo, and Praza do Obradoiro for historical explanations. However, the trek between these points (6.2 miles) will be self-guided. The accreditation received is not an official Certificate of Distance or completion from the Pilgrim's Reception Office.
