Travel Itinerary
Santiago de Compostela, kilometer zero of the Jacobean routes, becomes the starting point of your Way to Finisterre.
No pilgrim leaves Santiago without passing through the Plaza del Obradoiro, attending the pilgrim’s mass and visiting its imposing Cathedral. It is customary to embrace the Apostle, see the Botafumeiro and contemplate the spectacular Pórtico de la Gloria. But without a doubt, Santiago is much more than its Cathedral; a stroll through its squares is enough to realize that it is a really lively city. Live music concerts, performances for children, parks, monuments, charming viewpoints, markets and a thousand other things that will make you fall in love with this fairytale city.
You will start your first stage of the Way to Finisterre from the Obradoiro Square. After leaving the city, the route runs through meadows and pine and eucalyptus forests, until it reaches one of the most beautiful villages of the stage, Ponte Maceira. This small town of just over 60 inhabitants, can boast of belonging to the network of the Most Beautiful Villages of Spain. It enjoys an idyllic setting as it is located on the course of the river Tambre, where its great stone bridge of Roman origin stands out. There are many legends that circulate about this ancient bridge, such as the one that says that in the Roman persecution of the disciples of the Apostle Santiago, the bridge collapsed by divine intervention, ending with the persecutors.
After passing Ponte Maceira, there are only a few kilometres left to reach the end of the stage, Negreira, where you will find all the necessary services. You can visit its most emblematic monument, the Pazo de Cotón. Associated to this medieval fortress you will find the chapel of San Mauro, nowadays known as chapel do Cotón.
This is the longest stage of the Camino to Finisterre and Muxía that you will do with your dog on this trip. There are more than 30 kilometres between Negreira and Olveiroa. Although long, this stage is not very difficult, as it runs over gently sloping terrain. Throughout the route you will enjoy a totally rural landscape, crossing large meadows, huge forests of native trees and small villages where the kindness of its people will give you momentum to reach the goal. A few kilometres before reaching the end, you can admire the incredible views of the A Fervenza reservoir, on the descent of Monte Aro. Olveiroa has all the services to rest and recover after this long stage.
Olveiroa is a rural environment that has suffered for years the evils of depopulation. Today, however, it has become a renewed environment with the restoration of its heritage. The most outstanding heritage elements are its centenary granaries.
Note: Olveiroa is a small village with little accommodation. If there is no availability at the time of booking, you will finish your stage earlier, specifically in A Picota, shortening the walk by 4 kilometres.
From Olveiroa you will direct your steps towards Cee to finally meet the Atlantic Ocean, a sign that the goal is getting closer and closer. The route starts at the Castrelo reservoir and continues uphill until it reaches spectacular views of the Xallas river. At 5 kilometres from the start, you will find the village of Hospital, where we recommend stopping before continuing, as the rest of the route runs along lonely rural paths until you reach the fork Fisterra and Muxía. Once you reach this fork, you will have to take the option on the left to continue descending towards Cee, your end of the stage.
Cee, located between Cape Touriñán and Cape Fisterra, is part of A Costa da Morte. Relax and enjoy its privileged natural environment and beautiful beaches.
Today’s stage is a beautiful and quiet walk near the sea, passing through pine forests, beaches and cliffs. In Corcubión you will have to make a stop on the way to stroll through the old part of the town, declared a Historic-Artistic Site. Here, you can also bathe in the beach of Quenxe, sheltered from the winds and storms so typical of the Costa da Morte. Afterwards, the walk continues enjoying the wonderful green landscape and the rocky Atlantic coast until you reach the desired goal, Finisterre.
It will be worth a stroll through the village before setting course for the real goal, Cape Finisterre. Just 3 kilometres of ascent will take you to its famous lighthouse to contemplate one of the most spectacular sunsets in the world, with the sun setting over the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
No doubt, you will appreciate taking a well-deserved rest after these days of walking, strolling around Fisterra, its port and its market; and enjoying the rich local gastronomy. After a bit of leisure tourism we recommend as a cultural plan to visit the Museum of the Sea, located in the Castle of San Carlos which was built in the eighteenth century.
The day begins along the coast and enjoying a beautiful seaside scenery. The stage, although short, can be a bit confusing as you will find pilgrims walking in the opposite direction: those who after passing Olveiroa have taken the detour to Muxía and are now walking towards Finisterre. The road goes on, with the sea always omnipresent, between small villages, woods, corn fields and quiet paths until it reaches the sandy beach of Rostro. You will walk along its promenade until the village of Padrís, and then enter the forest in the direction of Lires, your end of the stage.
The Lires estuary has an important ornithological richness and remarkable examples of popular and religious architecture, such as the Romanesque churches of Santa Locacia de Frixe and Santa María de Morquintián.
Last day walking the Camino to Finisterre and Muxía with your dog!
After leaving Lires and crossing the river Castro, you will enter the municipality of Muxía. You will reach Vaosilveiro, Frixe and Morquintián, with stretches of asphalt among other rural roads, and the last effort of the trip is the ascent to the top of Aferroas and the Facho de Lourido mountain. We will arrive at the village of Xurarantes and we will border the beach of Lourido, already in the vicinity of Muxía. This is the end of your journey.
You have many reasons to visit this town Muxía: the mysticism of the church of A Virxe da Barca, also known as Sanctuary of the Sea by the beauty with which the waves break on the cliff, the Cabo Touriñán, the quiet beaches and winding roads that invite you to get lost, its people, the Romanesque churches and traditional buildings, and as could not miss in Galicia, the best gastronomy of the sea and the land.
Congratulations! You have completed your Camino with Dog to Finisterre and Muxía. We hope you and your pet had an amazing trip. I’m sure you had a great time! We are sure that after this experience your dog will want to accompany you everywhere you go. This last day you can take the opportunity to visit Muxía at your leisure before returning home. But if you have time, we recommend you to stay a few more days and get to know the enigmatic Costa da Morte in more depth.
