Stage 4. Cee - Fisterra (16 km)
The day you reach the end of the world. You leave Cee and soon reach Corcubión, a Historic Site of stone houses well worth a stroll. Then, pure Costa da Morte: paths through flowering gorse with the sea in the background and beaches like Sardiñeiro and the long Langosteira, where many take a dip. And finally, Finisterre. Don't miss the climb up to the lighthouse to see one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world.
