October 26th 2024-November 1st 2024
Hi everyone!

First-time pilgrim here, setting off on the Camino Finisterre starting October 26th. I’ll be spending the full day of October 25th in Santiago de Compostela and would love to know if there are any favourite spots where fellow travellers gather.

I’m really eager to hear the stories of those just finishing their Camino and would also love to connect with anyone starting or continuing on to Finisterre around the same time. Simply curious and excited to meet others on this journey!

Any recommendations or tips would be so appreciated.

Warm wishes,
Cam

    Walked the Camino to Santiago over 12 times now, never once did I go into the Cathedral. I was impressed by it's understated magnificent facade never felt a need to go in. I am not unreligious just never felt the need.
