Arrive in Sarria the previous day so this is a full walking day. Follow the marked Camino for about 22 km, adding time for food, rests and the approach to your booked bed in Portomarín. Carry the credential and collect the required dated stamps as you go; accommodation and certificates have their own conditions.
€25 for one pilgrim bed, €28 for meals, €0 for local travel and €8 for extras. These are chosen allowances. Add excursions, paid visits, inter-island tickets and airport journeys separately; replace the room or bed line with your full booking.
Estimated day spending: €61.00
Plan roughly 25 km with climbs and several breaks, ending at your accommodation in Palas de Rei. Start with water and a clear idea of where you can buy lunch. A published walking time does not include every pause. Keep the evening for food, foot care and preparing for the longer next stage.

This is the longest day in the five-day outline, about 29 km. Leave enough daylight for the route through Melide and a slow final approach to Arzúa. If that distance is too much, split the stage at Melide and add a night; completing the walk comfortably matters more than keeping the five-day label.

Follow the marked route for roughly 19 km, finishing at the actual address of your bed in O Pedrouzo. Take breaks before you are worn out and keep collecting dated credential stamps. Check tomorrow’s route and leave the evening simple; Santiago is still another walking day away.

Estimated day spending: €61.00
Allow a full walking day for the roughly 20 km approach, including the final urban streets. Finish at Praza do Obradoiro and follow the Pilgrim Office’s current registration and credential instructions if seeking a certificate. A final Santiago night is recommended; add it to the plan rather than booking an early departure after the walk.
No overnight stay; €27.00 for meals, €4.00 for local travel and €6.00 for extras. Add the paid visits, excursions, intercity tickets and airport journeys you choose. These are allowances; replace them with your bookings.
Estimated day spending: €37.00
Reach Sarria the day before walking. The four route nights are Portomarín, Palas de Rei, Arzúa and O Pedrouzo, with Santiago reached on day five. Add the Sarria arrival night and preferably a final Santiago night to the booking and budget. The title’s five days refer to walking days, not the whole trip from home.
Use the official Camino route and the Pilgrim Office for the credential, qualifying purpose and distance, and dated stamps. For the final 100 km on foot, collect at least two dated stamps each day. Completion does not automatically establish eligibility for the Compostela. Arrange the bed type you want and leave extra days if the distances are too much.
Santiago de Compostela. Use these guides for local arrivals, visitor choices and places to begin a day.
Split the roughly 29 km Palas de Rei–Arzúa stage at Melide and add a night if needed. If seeking the Compostela, use the Pilgrim Office’s current qualifying rules; simply shortening the final walking distance can change eligibility.
The day figures add up to €281.00 for one traveller before paid visits and extra journeys. The simple stay line buys one bed. These are chosen spending allowances, not available room offers or measured averages. Replace the stay amount with the full booking cost, including taxes and cleaning.
Add paid visits, excursions, intercity or inter-island tickets and airport journeys. The day notes separate accommodation, meals, local travel and small extras. The final day has no extra overnight allowance. The city budget cards are an alternative plan, so do not add them on top of this subtotal. Add the Sarria arrival night before the walk and any final Santiago night, plus travel to and from the route. The five walking-day subtotal covers neither extra night.
