FROM SANTIAGO TO FINISTERRE (90km)
For this itinerary, our goal won’t be to reach Santiago de Compostela. In contrast, Santiago will be our starting point from where we will leave to reach Finisterre (considered in antiquity as the “the end of the world”). We offer the possibility to choose this path itself or as a complement of another itineraries.
Arrival in Santiago de Compostela
If we have decided to continue our journey or start it in Santiago, we will have the pilgrim credentials. We will provide them, or if you prefer, you can withdraw one directly from the Pilgrim office at Obradoiro Square. This itinerary does not give the right to obtain the Compostela, but we can obtain the Fisterrana, which certifies, that you have reached the “End of the World”

If we want to enjoy the following city, we recommend starting early due to this second phase it is the longest and one of the hardest especially compared to the previous one. Although it is the longest stage it is also considered the most beautiful. We leave asphalt road to enter green landscapes. We will walk through valleys and along Xallas River to finally arrive at our destination, Olveiroa.

From Olveiroa the track continues along the river to Logoso and passes through “Nosa Señora hermitage”. Then the trail continues descending through pine forests until “Alto do Cruzeiro da Armada”. From here, you can see the ocean in the distance, we are close to Fisterre. End of the stage.
