Highlights
This pilgrimage tour starts in Sarria and continues all the way to Santiago through beautiful Galicia, characterized by an almost infinite number of small villages.
In Galicia, Celtic traditions and witchcraft beliefs have remained well alive, more than in any other region of Spain.
On the second day, pilgrims reach Portomarín, a village that had to give way to a reservoir in the 1960s and was completely rebuilt on the mountainside. The old village church was dismantled stone by stone and rebuilt on the mountain.

Behind Portomarín, the Camino (Way of Saint James) continues on fairytale-like trails through medieval villages and towards the yearned-for pilgrimage destination: Santiago de Compostela.
Once there, there is enough time to explore this beautiful city, attend the pilgrim’s mass and receive the pilgrim certificate, the Compostela, at the pilgrim’s office.
Approximately 116 kilometers/72 miles
