Santiago de Compostela
Place
Santiago de Compostela is the traditional endpoint of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, where pilgrims arrive at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. While it's the culmination of the journey, the route leading up to it can be very crowded, especially the section from Sarria.
Sarria
Place
Sarria is a popular starting point for pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago, especially for those who wish to complete the minimum 100km required to receive the Compostela certificate. As a result, the route becomes noticeably more crowded after Sarria, leading to a more social atmosphere.
Fisterra
Place
Finisterre, also known as Fisterra, is a traditional extension of the Camino de Santiago, offering stunning coastal views and beautiful beaches. Many pilgrims continue to Finisterre to experience its unique atmosphere and picturesque scenery, often ending their journey with a swim in the ocean. It's advisable to factor in extra time to explore and enjoy this area.
Avenida do Camiño Francés
Place
The Camino Frances is a pilgrimage route in Spain, known for its social experience rather than solitude. It can be crowded, especially after Sarria, due to many pilgrims joining for the final stretch to Santiago de Compostela. Be prepared for significant sections of hard pavement, which can be tough on feet, and consider training on similar surfaces.
