THE LAST 100 KM OF THE CAMINO FRANCÉS – SARRIA TO SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA

Welcome to Galicia! Join the melting pot of pilgrims from around the world to walk the last section of the Camino Francés to Santiago de Compostela. Walking the last 115 kilometres of the Camino means that you can obtain your Compostela, or certificate of completion of the pilgrimage.

You will be following the pilgrimage path through beautiful oak woodlands, fragrant eucalyptus forests, and traditional Galician villages. One of the great highlights of this region of Spain is its great seafood, cheeses, and wines so make sure to taste them all on this trip!

PRICE

  • Price per person sharing a double/twin room: starting from 720 EUR
  • Price per person for a private room: 1020 EUR

This tour can be walked over 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or 11 nights depending on your preference. You may need to transfer to and from accommodation in a taxi we can arrange if you stay in smaller villages.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Great camaraderie with other pilgrims as you walk the most popular section of the Camino.
  • The rolling, bucolic scenery of Galicia and a chance to see a myriad of churches and chapels dedicated to St. James.
  • The opportunity to try great Galician food such as pulpo (octopus with paprika), empanada (hearty savoury pastry), tetilla (cow’s milk cheese in the shape of a woman’s breast), albariño (Galicia, and Spain’s most famous, white wine) and caldo gallego (ham broth with collard greens or cabbage and potatoes)

LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY

This part of the Camino is very well-marked and mainly follows forest trails, small paths between villages and some secondary roads. While it is certainly not a mountainous region, Galicia is never flat! You will be walking up and down and down and up, so a reasonable level of fitness is necessary. The distances we plan for you are a little different from the typical etapas or stages of the Camino to allow for a more leisurely pace. However, the distances are approximate and will partly depend on the location of your accommodation.

We send you plenty of information prior to your departure including a suggested packing list, travel advice and Frequently Asked Questions. We are on hand via email or phone to help out with any questions you may have before you start your trip.

We send you a full list of hotel information at least 30 days before the start of your trip.

You will pick up your Andaspain Orientation Pack at your first hotel. As this is a self-guided not a guided walk, we will not be there in person to meet you! We are not able to meet everyone who walks with us as we have people setting off on their tailor-made Caminos all over Spain with departure dates every week through the year. If you need anything you can, of course, call us!
