Stage 1. Santiago de Compostela – Negreira (20.6 km)

The first stage of the Camino to Finisterre and Muxía is relatively comfortable. It runs from Santiago de Compostela through beautiful rural landscapes, full of chestnut, pine and eucalyptus trees and before reaching Negreira the route will give us a pleasant surprise. In Ponte Maceira we will discover one of the most beautiful villages in Spain. Cross its glorious stone bridge. Admire the passage of the Tambre river and enjoy the beautiful architecture of its houses will be a real treat for the senses.
