Camino del Norte Stage 5 - Ribadeo to Santiago

  • The outstanding hospitality of the people of Galicia
  • Sampling the pulpo (octopus) washed down with a glass of Albariño
  • Meeting your fellow pilgrims and sharing stories
  • Sampling the peace of the Galician mountains
  • Completing a unique and rewarding journey and gaining your Compostela in Santiago
The final stage of the Camino del Norte takes you from Ribadeo through the lush Galician countryside to Santiago de Compostela. This is a dramatic and sometimes challenging route to Santiago and one which more accurately reflects the true pilgrim experience. On this final section of the Camino del Norte, you head inland, away from the coast as you make your way through the mountains of Galicia. You will see many gothic graveyards and impressive old cathedrals as you pass through this forgotten corner of Spain. Once you reach Arzúa you connect with the Camino Frances for the final days into Santiago.
