Information
From A Picota and after crossing Olveiroa, you will head towards Cee to finally meet the Atlantic Ocean, a sign that the goal is getting closer and closer. Starting from the Castrelo reservoir, you will continue climbing until you find spectacular views of the Xallas river. Later you will find the village of Hospital, where we recommend stopping before continuing, as the rest of the route runs through lonely rural paths until you reach the fork Fisterra and Muxía. Once you reach this fork, you must take the option on the left to continue descending towards Cee. This locality located between the Touriñán cape and Fisterra cape, is part of A Costa da Morte.
From here a beautiful and quiet walk near the sea awaits you, 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.
Without a doubt, you will appreciate taking a well-deserved rest after these days of cycling, strolling around Fisterra, its port and its food 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.
