Highlights

Santiago

In Santiago, there is so much to see and do. You can visit the Cathedral. Explore the city. Go to see the fish market. Eat lots of tapas. Or why not take a stroll around the beautiful park of Alameda and take a picture with the statue of the two Maria’s or get a great shot of the Cathedral from the viewing point.

Cee

While walking through Cee pilgrims will see lots of beaches. The Estorde beach is a seashell-shaped beach with calm waters, perfect for a quick dip! Relax in this quiet village before your last day walking to the ‘End of the World’.

Fisterra

Just beyond the town of Fisterra is Cape Finisterre known since Roman times as the ‘End of the World’. This is the final stop for many pilgrims walking the Camino de Santiago. The finality of the cliffs overlooking the Atlantic ocean provide a great backdrop to the end of a Camino journey. Here you will also find the famous Lighthouse that plays a vital role in safely guided ships along the coastline which is known as the Coast of Death!

Itinerary

Day 1

SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA (Arrival)

You will be booked into a hotel in the heart of the historical town of Santiago de Compostela. If you have time before your walk, definitely soak in the atmosphere of the Cathedral of Santiago and Praza do Obradoiro. It’s a sight that many pilgrims await there whole life to see, so it’s a very special place.


Day 2
20.68km

SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA
to
NEGREIRA

From the Plaza del Obradoiro, you leave Santiago de Compostela. The Camino passes many small villages and Roman bridges that still stand to this day. Finally you will arrive at Negreira, a town of mediaeval origin. Its most outstanding monuments are the country house of Coton (Pazo do Coton) and an adjoining chapel dedicated to St Maurus. There is an option to split this section into two day days, with a stop over in As Maronas.


Day 3
34.04km

NEGREIRA
to
OLVEIROA

Passing the river Barcala, you continue along the mountainside, climbing the hillside of Monte Aro. From here you can view the Ferenza Dam. Then, the Camino enters the wild Serra de Castelo and the a valley through which the Xallas River flows gently.


Day 4
19.15km

OLVEIROA
to
CEE

At first we follow the river Logosa and pass the Hermitage of Nosa Senora. Then, as we descend through the pine groves of Alto do Cruxeiro da Armada, the sea appears before us. Your stop for the night is the fishing village of Cee, known for its estuaries and beaches.


Day 5
12.26km

CEE
to
FINISTERRE

Today you will enjoy a fabulous coastal walk along cliffs and by coves to the town of Fisterra (about 12km away) before the final stretch to Cape Finisterre and its world-famous lighthouse. This final stretch is one of the most invigorating of any Camino route in Spain, Portugal, and France!


Day 6

FINISTERRE

After breakfast we bid you farewell. You will need to walk back to the town of Fisterra and from there, take a bus back to Santiago (this will take about 45 minutes). There is an option to add an extra day here, to stay in the nearby fishing port of Muxia.
