When do you fly home?

The last thing to book is the first thing people get wrong. Give your arrival a little air — for blisters, for the Compostela queue, for the ocean at Finisterre — and read your date off the boarding pass.

Blisters, one slow week, a last albergue evening with your Camino family — buffer days absorb all of it. Two is the seasoned default.

Pick a date and your pass prints itself.

How this is calculated

The arrival day itself is spoken for — the Compostela office, the noon Pilgrim's Mass, finding your people one last time. Buffer days and the Finisterre extension stack after it, and the flight goes the morning after.

Finisterre is counted as four days: the classic three walking stages over ~89 km to the lighthouse at km 0,0, plus the bus back to Santiago. Both directions use the same arithmetic — the tool just solves for the date you don't know.

This tool runs on the same data and logic as the Camino Mío app — when you start walking, your plan comes with you. Meet the app
