Travel Itinerary
Around eight o’clock in the evening you will be called together with the rest of the group for an informative meeting in which our guides will give a talk about the itinerary, solve your doubts and hand out the pilgrim’s credentials and luggage tags, as well as some other gifts. You will see that they are very friendly and fun.
No pilgrim leaves Santiago without passing through the Plaza del Obradoiro, attending the pilgrim’s mass and visiting the imposing Cathedral. It is common to embrace the Apostle, see the Botafumeiro and contemplate the spectacular Portico de la Gloria. But undoubtedly, 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. Perfect to meet people, listen, share experiences and get ready for the adventure you are about to start with the rest of your companions. A day to rest, get psyched up and get ready to live an unforgettable experience.
You will start your first stage of the Camino a Finisterre from the Obradoiro square. After leaving the city, the route runs through meadows and pine and eucalyptus forests, until you reach 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 situated 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 during the Roman persecution of the disciples of the Apostle St. James, the bridge collapsed due to divine intervention, putting an end to 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 with this medieval fortress you will find the chapel of San Mauro, nowadays known as the chapel of Cotón.
This is the longest stage of the Way to Finisterre, as there are more than 30 kilometres between Negreira and Olveiroa. Although long, this stage is not very difficult, as it runs through gently sloping terrain. Along the route you will enjoy a totally rural landscape, crossing large meadows, immense forests of indigenous trees and small villages where the kindness of the local people will give you the impetus to reach the finish line. A few kilometres before reaching the end, you will be able to admire the incredible views of the A Fervenza reservoir, on the descent of Monte Aro. Olveiroa has all the services you need to rest and recover after this long stage.
Olveiroa is a rural environment that has suffered for years from the evils of depopulation. However, nowadays it has become a renewed environment with the restoration of its heritage. The most outstanding heritage elements are its centenary granaries.
From Olveiroa you will head towards Cee to finally meet the Atlantic Ocean, a sign that the finish line is getting closer and closer. The route starts at the Castrelo reservoir and continues uphill until you come across spectacular views of the river Xallas. 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 should take the option on the left to continue descending towards Cee, your stage finish.
Cee, located between Cape Touriñán and Cape Fisterra, is part of the Costa da Morte. Relax and enjoy its privileged natural environment and its beautiful beaches.
Today’s stage is a beautiful and quiet walk near the sea, passing through pine forests, beaches and cliffs. In Corcubión you should make a stop along the way to stroll through the old part of the town, which has been 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 marvellous green landscape and the rocky Atlantic coast until you reach the longed-for goal, Finisterre.
It is worth taking a stroll through the village before heading towards 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 you as a cultural plan to visit the Sea Museum, located in the Castle of San Carlos, which was built in the 18th century.
Congratulations! You have completed your Camino to the End of the World from Santiago de Compostela in a group. This last day you are in charge, you can return home or enjoy an extra day in Santiago or venture to Muxía, where you can visit the beautiful Sanctuary of A Virxe da Barca.
