Pilgrims Reception Office

Highlight • Rest Area

At the end of the Camino de Santiago you can officially register as a pilgrim here in the pilgrims office. You will receive the so-called “Compostela” as a certificate for your pilgrimage and, if you wish, also a personal certificate on which your starting point and the kilometers traveled are noted. However, this costs around 5 euros. Do not forget your pilgrim ID, because it is required as proof for the Compostela to be issued. If you want to avoid long waiting times, I recommend going to the office early in the morning.

Signage on the Camino de Santiago is essential for pilgrims.
Yellow arrows: These arrows will guide you throughout the entire route. They indicate the direction to follow, especially at crossroads. The yellow color is due to the contribution of the parish priest Elías Valiña, a key figure in the resurgence of the Camino de Santiago in the 20th century.
Cairns or milestones: These concrete blocks include an arrow, a yellow shell on a blue background and the distance in kilometers to Santiago de Compostela. You will find them every 500 meters in Galicia.
Scallop shells: In addition to being drawn on the markers, scallop shells are distributed throughout the Camino. They are universal symbols and have been carried by pilgrims for centuries. The open part of the shell indicates the direction towards Santiago.
Good way! 🚶‍♂️🌟

Santiago de Compostela Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Various sightseeing tours can be booked in the cathedral. A tour leads over the roofs of the cathedral. In addition to the beautiful view over Santiago, the guide also draws attention to small features that are on the roof. For example, it points to a stone trough in which - directly above the grave of James - in earlier times pilgrims burned their clothes.
