This stage ends in Santiago
Three things before anything else: where to leave your backpack, how to get the Compostela and where the Pilgrim’s Mass is. They’re in Santiago, with the date I checked each one, and there you can work out what time you’ll arrive and what you have time for.
Arriving from the south: Porta Faxeira and Rúa do Franco
The Portuguese Way enters the old town through the Porta Faxeira and goes down Rúa do Franco to the Obradoiro. On that same street there are two luggage storage places: Correos, at number 4 (€4/day), and Quintana Souvenirs, at 23 (€3/day). Prices read on their websites on 17 October 2026. All luggage storage options.
Where will you sleep? The albergues closest to the Porta Faxeira, with the distance and how to get there on foot.
Where will you sleep?

Tell me what day you arrive in Santiago and I’ll email you the day before
One email, the day before you arrive: where to leave your backpack, the Compostela, that day’s Mass and anything that has changed. While you’re walking I won’t write: this website remembers your stage, so open it every morning.
