Information
Santiago de Compostela, a historic city and final destination of the Way, stands out for its majestic cathedral, its old town and vibrant cultural life.
Today we recommend you to leave early to get to Santiago de Compostela as soon as possible and make the most of the day in the city. This is a beautiful route that follows the original route, so you should be careful with pilgrims on foot, especially in summer. The key point of the day is in Padrón, where you can’t leave without tasting its famous peppers and discovering if they are as hot as they say… or not. In Padrón you can also find the famous “Pedrón”, the stone with which they moored the boat that carried the remains of the Apostle Santiago. The last stretch goes through forests, crosses, bridges and old churches until it reaches the parishes of Teo and Ames, the anteroom to Santiago de Compostela. All that remains is to savour the last few kilometres and stroll through the old town of Compostela until you make your triumphal entry into the Plaza del Obradoiro. You are in Santiago! Feel happy and proud to have completed your Portuguese Way by bike. Now we just need to pick up the Compostela certificate and enjoy an incredible day getting to know the Galician capital.
