Itinerary
Walk the final and most popular stage of the Camino Frances to earn your Compostela. This stage of the famous Camino pilgrimage route offers the chance for time starved travellers to walk the final 115kms into Santiago and gain a wonderful appreciation of the historic significance of the route. To be eligible for the official Compostela certificate of completion, which is issued by the Pilgrim's Office in Santiago de Compostela, walkers must walk at least 100kms of the iconic pilgrim route. Walking through mixed landscapes, there are numerous reminders of the pilgrims past who travelled the route including crosses, statues and grain silos. The gates of Galicia lead to the fabled Santiago de Compostela with its famous cathedral, site of the tomb of St James.

Customer Reviews
Trip was very rewarding. The booking experience was not.
We did the 115km Sarria to Santiago walk over 6 days, self-guided. My husband and I had the most amazing time and would thoroughly recommend doing this walk to anyone. We saw mums with prams, older people and all ages on the walk. The organisation was seamless - good hotels, good food, no problem with suitcase transport. One hotel was 7km away from the end of the day's walk (and instructions were to call them for a pickup) and the only issue we had was in trying to contact the hotel with only an eSIM card as they had no WhatsApp option (so I'd suggest changing this). I also want to point out that although the official distance advertised is 115km, it is actually closer to 130km (measured on Strava).
Splendid mix of accommodations.
Well planned, can't get lost!
It was a well-organised trip. The luggage was always where it needed to be and all of the hotels/hostels were clean with good showers, which was bliss after a long day's walking. With two notable exceptions, the food was substantial but often disappointing, with breakfasts being better. The route was well marked and we did not need GPX. The camaraderie was wonderful and we had many interesting chats.
