The last day! Get up early and set off from Padrón in good time: the excitement will make the kilometres fly as you cross Iria Flavia and the final villages on the way to Compostela. And suddenly, the Obradoiro square and the Cathedral of Santiago in front of you: you have completed your Portuguese Way. Collect the Compostela at the Pilgrim's Office (Rúa Carretas) and don't miss the pilgrim mass or the rest of the Galician capital.
