Day 13 September 18th, 2024. Padrón, Spain to Santiago de Compostella, Spain. 16.6 miles 33,152 steps

“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened”. Dr. Seuss

We have arrived!!

Cathedral Santiago de Compostella

After walking 13 days and 186.2 miles, 396,583 steps (456,718 including walking to restaurants, etc.) we have made it to Santiago de Compostella.

It has been a great journey and I think we each took away something different from doing this.

Between us we had tired feet, sore backs, blisters and illness but we pressed on and have arrived.

This final day started out early in the dark as we wanted to arrive at the Cathedral early so we could hang out and we also had to go to the official Pilgrim office to get our certificate of completion. It was a good day and a good trip. The weather cooperated the entire time so we are very grateful.

Tomorrow no walking but we have a driver picking us up at 4:30 a.m. to head for the airport for our 20-hour flight home. I would rather be walking🤣

Here are the pics from today. Enjoy

Buen Camino out!!
