Camino del Norte/Stage 36 of 36

Camino del Norte · Stage 36 of 36

O Pedrouzo to Santiago de Compostela

Collect your Compostela at the Pilgrim Office, Rúa das Carretas 33: you need the last 100 km on foot with two stamps a day, and you should pre-register online. Pilgrim Masses are at 7:30, 9:30, 12:00 and 19:30; the botafumeiro was away for restoration in September 2026, and backpacks aren't allowed in the cathedral. Santiago charges a tourist tax of €1 to €2.50 a night, but not in Xunta albergues.
