What you can expect

Are you spending a few days in Santiago and looking for a different experience? Become a pilgrim for a day and experience the thrill of walking the final kilometres of the Camino de Santiago until you reach the impressive Plaza del Obradoiro, the place where thousands of pilgrims celebrate the end of their adventure each year.

This activity is perfect for those who want to feel the magic of the Camino without having to complete the full route. Right from the start, you'll enjoy an authentic and fun experience full of history, tradition, and unique landscapes.

The sightseeing tour begins in the heart of Santiago's historic centre, where you will be welcomed and taken to the starting point of the route, about 10 km from the city. So that you only have to worry about enjoying yourself, the necessary equipment for the hike, such as walking sticks or hats, is included. All you need is comfortable clothing and the desire to experience something special.

Along the way, you'll walk surrounded by the pilgrim atmosphere that makes the French Way famous, sharing trails, stories, and unique moments. One of the most exciting points will be the arrival at Monte do Gozo, the mythical place from which pilgrims first see the towers of the Cathedral of Santiago. There you'll discover interesting facts, anecdotes, and the historical and symbolic importance of this very special place.

The experience continues until you reach the Plaza del Obradoiro, one of the most exciting and celebrated finishes in the world. You'll feel the same mixture of joy, pride, and excitement that accompanies those who complete the Camino after days or even weeks of travel.

In addition, you will receive a special souvenir of the experience and photographs so that you can keep this unique moment in Santiago de Compostela forever.

If you want to discover the authentic spirit of the Camino in an intimate, exciting, and different way, this is your experience. Don't miss out!
