Get immersed in the Galician culture while walking the eighth stage. Enjoy the green and beautiful landscape that Galicia offers and try their amazing local cuisine, which is considered one of the best in Spain.

This stage covers the way from Sarria to the final destination, Santiago de Compostela.

The eighth stage (also known as “the fast way”) is the choice of most of the pilgrims. One reason is because the Cathedral of Santiago provides pilgrims with the “Compostela Certificate” if they have walked at least the last 100km of the way.

This stage is divided in 5 substages (7 days/6 nights)
– Day1: Sarria – Portomarin (21.6km or 13.42 mi)
– Day2: Portomarin – Palas de Rei (24.5Km or 15.22 mi)
– Day3: Palas de Rei – Arzua (28.7 Kms or 17.8 mi)
– Day4: Arzua – Rua/Arca do Pino(20 Kms or 12.42 mi)
– Day5: Rua/Arca do Pino – Santiago de Compostela (19 Kms or 11.8 mi)
