Sanctuary of Escravitude

Highlight • Religious Site

Just five kilometers from the historic center of Padrón, this church is one of the most iconic on the Portuguese Way of Saint James. The story tells that it was born as a result of a miracle: a man suffering from dropsy was cured 72 hours after drinking from the fountain that is still preserved under the steps, at street level. Thanks to the donations of this and many others who came to "heal" the temple was erected.

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.

Kilometer Zero Marker of the Camino de Santiago

Highlight • Monument

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.

The Ponte Vella de Arriba is a medieval bridge dating back to the 13th century and is considered an important historical and cultural heritage site in Galicia. The historic stone structure crosses the Sar River, along a small road with little traffic on the way from Santiago de Compostela.
