Mr Curry walked between 20 and 60 kilometres each day from Northern Spain to the historic cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.
“I have learnt a lot over the last month and met a lot of very interesting people,” he said.
Mr Curry raised over $3000 for mental health support service beyondblue along the way.
“This has been my greatest challenge so far and thanks to everyone that has donated and helped share the posts for mental illness,” he said.
However, the journey is not over for Mr Curry, who is accepting further donations to continue to his trek to Finisterre or Porto.
