Camino

Santiago to Finisterre, Muxía and A Coruña – the Camino Finisterre

August 27th - September 3rd, 2025

From €1110pp including flights

This is a Camino with a difference because all roads lead from, instead of to, Santiago! It is a walk

with a different feel – you are now heading to the sea and to the “end of the world”. Having reached

the lighthouse in Finisterre, you are experiencing a different ending, a different sense of

achievement.

Bonus – The accommodation in Finisterre allows you to walk out the back door and straight on to

the stunning Playa Langousteira.

Add a day’s walk to Muxía to see the Costa da Morte (the Coast of Death) at its most beautiful. Did

we mention 24 hours in A Coruña, home to a vibrant tapas scene and the Torre de Hercules?

The level of difficulty is average – the rolling hills in this part of Galicia are similar in many respects to

the Irish countryside. Don’t expect an easy walk - but it’s well within the compass of those with a

moderate level of fitness

Santiago city centre.

centred around the cathedral in the Plaza Obradoiro.

● Evening meal in Santiago - a chance to get to know each other!


August 28th, Day 2


● Walk 22km to Negreira. You will very quickly find yourself in the countryside, leaving

Santiago behind.

● The Roman bridge and horseshoe waterfall at Ponte Maceira is a highlight of this, and

indeed any, Camino stage.

● Return transfer to Santiago - free evening to explore the old town, a Unesco World Heritage

Site in its own right.


August 29th, Day 3


● Coach transfer back to Negreira.

● Walk 22km to Santa Mariña. From Negreira, you will ascend gradually for a full 11km or so until

just before Vilaserio, while the second half of the day levels out.

● Transfer to Olveiroa to spend the night in this tranquil hamlet.

● For those wishing to walk every km of the way, you can walk a full 34km from Negreira to

Olveiroa (through Santa Mariña).

● Evening meal in Olveiroa.


August 30th, Day 4


● Walk 20km to reach the Atlantic at Cée. There’s a lovely, peaceful stretch across the

headland from Hospital to Cée , passing through fields of pine trees.

● The pretty hamlets of Ponte Olveira, Olveiroa and Logoso mark the earlier part of a day that

eventually brings you downhill to the shores of the Atlantic Ocean.


August 31st, Day 5


● Walk 13km to Finisterre. Your entire day is spent getting views of the journey's end, the

headland of Finisterre. The beaches at Estorde and Sardiñeiro whet your appetite for the beautiful

beach of Langosteira which brings you all the way to the fishing town of Finisterre.

● A 6km round trip to the lighthouse allows you to watch the sun go down over the end of the world.

You might even avail of a trip out to sea for the sunset.


September 1st, Day 6


● Walk 29km to Muxía. Muxía is a quiet Camino jewel – many finish up walking in Finisterre

and don’t know what they are missing! Explore the wild Atlantic crashing against the shore

and admire the Señora de la Barca church standing proud against the Atlantic. Remember

that the beautiful Costa da Morte gets its name for good reason - don’t stray too close to the

water!

● Evening meal at our accommodation – to celebrate the achievement of the week gone by!


September 2nd, Day 7


● Transfer to A Coruña where we will have a walking stroll around the old town, including the

entrance to the UNESCO World Heritage site - the Torre de Hercules.
