Camino Frances: Sarria to Santiago Final Stage
Photo: Minna Harshbarger, Macs Adventure Ltd
Walk the last 100 km of the Camino Frances from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela on the famous Camino de Santiago. Our most popular Camino; this trip earns you your Compostela as you will have walked over 100 km to Santiago. There are many reasons to walk the Camino, religious, spiritual or just taking a break from the stresses of modern life, but whatever your reason, the feeling of satisfaction when you receive your Compostela certificate on completion is overwhelming. Walking the Camino is a unique experience as much about the people you meet as the places you visit. The route takes you through rural Galicia and is peppered with charming old churches and religious sites and finishes at the magnificent Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.
