Clarification on 100km

[LizzieW]

Has there been any clarification on the 100km rule for the Compostela? Wanting to verify,that as long as you walk 100km on the Camino, and end up in Santiago, it does not have to be a *continous* 100kms.

Is this what the understanding is?

Thank you.

No clarification on the new rule. You can be sure that someone here will post it when it happens.

No! There is no understanding

The situation continues to be confusing, so, for the moment:
If you want a Compostela walk the last 100km into Santiago AND get two stamps a day on these last 100km.

I emailed the Pilgrim's Office last week and they have answered.

Their answer:

You must...

1. Walk 100 kms, which do not have to be continuous.
2. However, your last stage must be into Santiago. For some reason the person who answered considered Arzúa - Santiago to be the last stage. IMO, that's a long and not standard last stage.
3. Get two stamps per day, but still only on last 100 kms

That was it.

This answer fits the requirements as stated on the Pilgrim's Office's website. However, what remains unclear, at least for me, is what the Pilgrim Office considers as the last stage on each route. I am guessing that these would be Pedrouzo, Padrón, Sigüeiro and...

Happy New Year and Buenos Caminos in 2025
