Stage
Padrón → Santiago de Compostela
Ease of walking: Moderate; country lanes and short climbs into Santiago's approach roads, with urban cobbles in the city.
The final stage leads pilgrims through rolling Galician countryside and small villages before the approach to Santiago and the emotional arrival at the cathedral. The closing kilometres are well-trodden and culminate in the medieval Praza do Obradoiro.
Scenery
Pastoral farmland, lanes lined with stone walls and the gradual reveal of Santiago's cathedral spires.
