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.

Camino de Santiago: The Final Stage

You will meet at the specified time on Rúa de Tras Salomé and board a vehicle to Lavacolla. Upon arrival, you will receive a hat, a trekking pole, and a map for the final section of the Camino de Santiago. Departing from the church in Lavacolla, your trek will lead you towards Monte do Gozo, where you will have the opportunity to see the cathedral in Santiago. Your guide will be present to provide information on the route and its history, including figures of Pope John Paul II and two giant statues of pilgrims that point towards Santiago.

After the explanation at Monte do Gozo, you will continue to Santiago, where your guide will meet you again at Praza do Obradoiro. Upon completion of your trek, you will receive a certificate confirming your accomplishment. 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 to share historical insights. However, the trek between these points (totaling the final 6.2 miles of the Camino de Santiago) will be completed independently. The certificate given at the end is not an official Certificate of Distance or completion from the Pilgrim's Reception Office.
