Stage
O Pedrouzo → Santiago de Compostela
Ease of walking: Easy; final day is mostly on well-maintained roads and urban paths.
The final stage leads pilgrims into Santiago de Compostela, ending at the Cathedral and the symbolic plaza of Obradoiro where many complete the pilgrimage. This final approach is often emotional, with rising anticipation as the cathedral spires appear.
