Stage Description

This long stage is the last of the English Way. The route is a continuous up and down through rural Galicia, which becomes more urban towards its final stretch. The profile is demanding, but the excitement of arriving at Santiago gives the pilgrim strength. The route passes by Sigüeiro, the last major stop before the end. The entrance into the historic center of Compostela and arrival at the Praza do Obradoiro is the journey's end, an unforgettable reward for all the effort.
The last stage of the English Way is a long journey that takes the pilgrim from the interior of A Coruña province to the destination in Santiago de Compostela. The profile is a continuous "breakneck" slope, an up and down constant through a rural landscape of great beauty. The route runs on dirt paths and tranquil local roads, passing by several small villages. The most important locality on the route is Sigüeiro, by the Tambre River. It is the last major stop before Santiago and a good place for rest. From Sigüeiro onwards, the path faces its final stretch, which includes the passage through the industrial area of Tambre, the least attractive part of the route. Overcome this stretch, the path enters the neighborhoods of Santiago. The excitement increases as it approaches the historic center. The entry into the Praza do Obradoiro and the view of the Cathedral is the end of the Camino, the culmination of an unforgettable journey.
