O Pino
O Pino is officially the prelude to the end of the Camino de Santiago. It is the last municipality before the Galician capital and usually the last night before reaching the cathedral.

Such is the importance and identity of this municipality within the universe of the Camino de Santiago, that it can boast of being the town with more kilometers of Jubilee route of the entire French Way, a total of 18, precisely the distance that separates it from Compostela.

As you go deeper into the vegetation, you will appreciate multiple details related to the Jacobean cult. There are from the remains of stones with scallop shells to small altars improvised by pilgrims in natural spaces. With each step, O Pino offers a unique combination of plant landscapes, buildings and fields, all on the eve of the culmination of the journey.
