Camino Primitivo · The last 100 km
About 100 km and 5 stages from Lugo to Santiago, enough to receive the Compostela. Here is every stage with its towns and albergues, and a plan at your own pace in a minute.
Stage by stage
The usual split in the guidebooks. If you prefer shorter or longer days, the planner splits the route for you based on the albergues in each town.
Distances are approximate: they can vary by a kilometre or so depending on the variant you take.
The Compostela
To get the Compostela you must walk at least the last 100 km. Lugo is just about 100 km from Santiago: the perfect starting point, and you set off from a city whose Roman walls are a World Heritage Site.
It is five stages: San Romao, Melide, Arzúa, O Pedrouzo and Santiago.
Work out your Camino
Move the slider to your pace. Suseia then splits the route into stages based on the albergues in each town, and you can adjust them by hand.
Each dot is a day of walking to Santiago.
Common questions
About 100 km along the Camino. It is usually walked in 5 stages, so with the journey there and back it fits into a week or a little more.
Yes. For the Compostela you must walk at least the last 100 km, and from Lugo it is about 100. On this stretch your credential needs two stamps a day: almost every albergue, bar and church has one.
The one from San Romao da Retorta to Melide: 24.3 km with about 740 m of total ascent.
Public albergues cannot be booked: beds go in order of arrival. The last 100 km are the busiest part of the Camino, so in high season and on bank holidays it is worth booking private albergues.
