Information
A Picota, with its livestock tradition, is famous for the Monument to the Cows, the Mural of the Female Ranchers and the A Picota Fair. A picturesque spot on the Way of Saint James, ideal for enjoying rural Galicia.
This stage is part of the Route to Finisterre and Muxía. Would you like to walk it with your accommodation already booked? These organised trips include it: Camino to Finisterre and Muxía (A Picota) - 116 km and Camino to Finisterre - 90 km.
The longest stage of the way to Finisterre, though without any great difficulty: over 30 kilometres of purely rural scenery, through meadows, native woodland and small villages of friendly people. Just before arriving, the descent from Monte Aro rewards you with beautiful views of the A Fervenza reservoir. You finish in Olveiroa, a renovated rural spot famous for its centuries-old hórreos (granaries). (If there is no accommodation, the stage ends earlier, at A Picota.)
