The Compostela

From Vilalba, the last 100 km

To get the Compostela you must walk at least the last 100 km. Vilalba, capital of the Terra Chá, is about 118 km from Santiago: five or six stages through inland Galicia until you join the Francés at Arzúa.

Baamonde is just under 100 km, so if you start there you won’t reach the minimum.
