Where does the Camino actually end? 🚶‍♀️

Officially, your Camino ends at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. This is where pilgrims arrive after walking hundreds of kilometres, where they celebrate their achievement and after collect their Compostela.

But for quite a few pilgrims, reaching Santiago isn’t quite the end of the journey.

They decide to keep walking, heading further west towards the Atlantic coast. Their destination? Finisterre or Muxía.

Finisterre, traditionally known as the “End of the World”, is a particularly symbolic place to finish your Camino. Standing at the lighthouse, looking out over the endless ocean, watching the sun set over the Atlantic… it’s a very different kind of arrival.

Others choose Muxía, a beautiful coastal village with its own special connection to the Camino.

If you have the time and the energy, continuing to the sea can be a wonderful way to bring your Camino journey to a close.

Please don’t walk the Camino Portugués tomorrow - especially not further south. A heavy storm is expected and the government asks the people to stay home. While the worst is exoected around Lisbon and the Algarve, also Porto and the north are not safe!

Take care!

Some people think it’s not even possible, but of course it is! All the popular Caminos can also be walked in winter.

There are a few things to keep in mind: mountain passes like the one in the Pyrenees are closed, and many albergues take a winter break. You might also have fewer accommodation options and need to plan your stages a little differently.

But winter Caminos can actually be a wonderful experience. Imagine walking the last 100 km from Sarria on the Camino Frances without the crowds. No queues at cafés, no race for an albergue bed, just you, the landscape and the Camino. A completely different experience from the busy summer months.

There is, however, one very real drawback: you need to be comfortable with rain. Northern Portugal and Galicia get A LOT of rain during the winter months. You might be lucky and enjoy two whole weeks of sunshine, but you should never count on it!

My advice: come prepared. Pack waterproof covers for your shoes and invest in a really good rain poncho. Look for a waterproof rating of at least 8,000 mm, ideally 10,000 mm or more. A cheap poncho might be fine for a summer shower, but it won’t necessarily keep you dry through hours of Galician rain.

So, would I recommend a winter Camino? Absolutely! Just don’t underestimate the weather, check which albergues are open and plan accordingly.

Sometimes, the Camino is at its most beautiful when you have it almost to yourself.

The Pilgrim Office in Porto is on winter break.

But don’t worry, you can still get your pilgrim credential before you start walking:

📍 At the Cathedral
📍 At the Igreja do Carmo

Arriving in the city center and want everything ready? Have a starter kit with your credential, a shell and an albergue list delivered straight to your hostel or hotel. You can order it on the website of the Pilgrim Office: oficinadoperegrino.com

And if you’re my client, I’m of course happy to hand you your credential myself. 💛

Did you know that you don’t have to walk your Camino all at once? You can go back home and return as often as you want. If you dream of walking the full Camino Frances but you can’t get 6 weeks off, you can go for two weeks every year and in the end get the Compostela for the whole Camino.

Thank you, Stacie ❤️

You can read the whole review on my Google business profile, it gets even better 😁

And it was a pleasure to support Stacie’s Camino.

Instead, it will be held at the Church of San Agustín at 9:30 am and 12:00 pm.
The 7:30 am mass will take place in the Communion Chapel of the Cathedral.

Please plan your arrival accordingly and share this with anyone walking the Camino right now. 💛

Many first-time pilgrims worry about this: they have collected all these beautiful stamps along their Camino and want to keep their credential with all these memories.

But don’t worry, you get to keep your credential! When you receive your Compostela, the Pilgrim Office checks your stamps and then returns your credential to you.

For many pilgrims, their credential is an even more valuable souvenir of their Camino. Some don’t even get a Compostela because their credential, filled with memories of their journey, is more valuable to them.

If you start your Camino in Porto, you can get a little gift at the Pilgrim Office: a package with two shell hangers. One is for you, the other for someone you meet along the Camino.

To make sure that as many pilgrims as possible get a package, they are no longer on public display. Instead, the volunteers at the desk will hand them to you.

Bom Caminho!

500,000 pilgrims have already reached Santiago this year.

Last year, 530,000 pilgrims reached Santiago in total, so 2026 might still break the record.

And while there are still pilgrims arriving in November and December, these are much quieter months on the Camino, so reaching 530,000 is definitely not a given.

Still, 500,000 pilgrims in one year is quite something.

500,000 people who walked, struggled, got lost, made friends, got wet, enjoyed the views, maybe had a few moments of doubt, and eventually made it to Santiago.

Every one of them with their own Camino story ❤️
