I have reach my limit and usedy 3k, so please go to my Facebook page to follow our last 100k to Santiago.
So are within 100k of Santiago or about 62 miles.
Santiago allows people who don’t have the time to walk the full Camino to get a taste of The Way. Walking over 100km also makes you eligible to receive the Compostela (Pilgrim Certificate). This stretch of the Camino de Santiago takes approximately one week, making it a very feasible trip for many.
All of the last 100km walks to Santiago de Compostela are predominantly through the undulating landscape of Galicia. Galicia is renowned for its rolling hills and lush vegetation and is a wonderful place to walk. This area is also rich in history that’s still visible today. Celtic tribes initially inhabited this land and it’s from them that the area’s name was derived. The region was then occupied by the Romans in the 3rd Century BC until the Middle Ages when Moorish invaders attempted to conquer these lands.
Ultimately, the Moors never obtained much control and the land soon fell back into the hands of the Christian Kingdom of Asturias. It was at this time that the tomb of St James was discovered and since then this area has been a pilgrimage destination.
