Finisterre Way

Camino from Santiago to Finisterre

5/5
Organized pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela
| Autoguided Tour

Tour Description

Walk the Finisterre Way from Santiago to Finisterre & discover the End of the World

Santiago de Compostela can be the final stage of the Camino de Santiago, or the beginning of a new route towards the sea. The Finisterre Way, or Camino de Finisterre (known as “Fisterra” in Galician language) is much more than a simple prolongation of the Camino de Santiago, as this route comes from the Roman and Celtic tradition.  During these periods, Finisterre was considered to be the End of the World. In fact, this is the origin of the term: Finis (end) terre (world).

This route is really well marked, but one of the stages is quite long. That is a why a minimum level of fitness is required. If you want to split this walking day in two, please do not hesitate to let us know, we can adapt the itinerary.

Once in Finisterre, you can request your Pilgrim Certificate, that is called “Finisterrana”. You can even do the route in reverse, ending in Santiago de Compostela instead. Do not hesitate to contact us for advice!

Check in Santiago de Compostela

Santiago - Negreira 21 km

Today you will leave Santiago and, on your way to Negreira, you will walk through pine and eucaliptus forests, small hamlets and roman bridges. It is considered to be one of the less strenuous walking days.

Negreira - Santa Mariña 21 km

You will walk around Serra de Castelo and Monte do Aro, amazing landscapes to photograph

Santa Mariña - O Logoso 16 km

This is the most special stage. Why? Because of the sea view in the distance, for the first time!

O Logoso - Cee 18 km

Walk across the San Pedro Mártir Hill and don´t forget to visit its small chapel and its water fountain with healing properties for rheumatism, foot and wart pain.

Cee - Finisterre 12 km (+3km de subida al faro)

The Camino in this stage takes you along the Atlantic coast while enjoying the high cliffs that give its name to its coast, the wild beaches and the incredible views it offers. What to do when you get to Finisterre? Undoubtedly, visit the Lighthouse, where it is considered the End of the World. Enjoying the sunset with the views it offers is the greatest pleasure of all this Camino!

Hostels and pensions

These accommodations have the necessary services to cover the basic needs of cleanliness and rest at a more moderate price than the hotels .

These are small accommodations characterized by having few rooms and providing personalized attention. They are hotel concepts with a modern style and their own character. They can be between 1* and 5*.

National Paradores of Spain

This is a public hotel chain that manages a network of almost 100 charming hotels distributed throughout the Iberian Peninsula.

Rural tourism lodgings

Rural houses, pazos, inns, rectories, castles, monasteries, farmhouses… These are historic buildings of great architectural and patrimonial value. So much so, that this characteristic sometimes gives them the status of “luxury lodging” despite the fact that they are
“luxury accommodation” despite the fact that they are often rustic constructions in which natural stone and wood predominate.
