Stage
Outeiro → Santiago de Compostela
Ease of walking: Easy to moderate — urban approach includes cobbled streets and variable gradients into the city center.
The final stage culminates at the Cathedral of Santiago, where pilgrims complete the Vía de la Plata and can receive the Compostela certificate. The arrival in the historic old town is a celebratory and reflective moment after the long route.
Scenery
Urban historic architecture, plazas and the dramatic façade of the cathedral in a basin of green hills.
