Today Day 7/8: O Pedrouzo-Santiago de Compostela you face your last day of walking on your Camino!
The first half of the day runs through a rural landscape, similar to the days prior.
From Lavacolla you walk past the airport. On highways and urban residential areas. Then you reach Monte do Gozo (Mount of Joy) 5km before the city centre, from here you will glimpse the spires of the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
The entrance to the old city of Santiago (100,000 inhabitants) is stunning. An incredible walk through the historic city streets leading you under the Arco del Obispo.
Here you make your triumphant entrance into the Plaza del Obradoiro, Congratulations!
This night is one of celebration. The City will be brimming with Pilgrims and Locals alike enjoying the local cuisine and wines. Sharing tales of their Camino and for many saying farewells to their Camino Friends.
*Don’t forget to go and get your Compostela. The location will be noted on your daily map.
Today you will have your last breakfast as a Crossroads Travel Client
The end of this unique experience, unless of course, you are heading to Fisterra!
Whatever it is you do from here please go safely, thank you for choosing Crossroads Travel
We hope to see you again sometime soon.
Buen Camino!!
