Tour Description

Walk the Atlantic Way, from Ferrol to Finisterre

Experience the magic of the Camino de Santiago from coast to coast. From Ferrol to Finisterre, passing through Santiago de Compostela.

The Atlantic Way combines two of the most emblematic Xacobean routes: the English Way and the Finisterre Way. Through this itinerary you will be able to obtain the two certificates of the Way: the Compostela and the Finisterriana.

You will discover the Way that medieval pilgrims traveled overseas, crossing the sea until they reached Ferrol. In addition, you will end up back in the ocean at its most iconic point: the Finisterre Lighthouse, symbol of the Celtic, Roman and Xacobean tradition.

An unforgettable experience, full of history, traditions, spirituality and legends that take us into the culture of Galicia. From Galiwonders we will design an unforgettable trip for you.

Check in Ferrol

Arrival in Ferrol, starting point of the English Way.

Ferrol – Pontedeume (30 km)

The first stage is the longest, so it is possible to divide it in two and stay in Neda. We recommend a visit to the port of Ferrol before starting the route, as it is one of the most emblematic of Galicia. On the other hand, already on the Camino, we recommend a stop at the Monastery of San Martiño de Neda.

Pontedeume – Betanzos (21 km)

This is a coastal stretch, with very pleasant views. Before reaching Betanzos, we recommend a stop at the Church of San Pantaleón de las Viñas, one of the most iconic points of the English Way.

Betanzos – Bruma-Mesón do Vento (28 km)

This is a quiet stage, through rural areas. Some sections run parallel to the river. The road combines asphalted areas with forest tracks.

Bruma-Mesón do Vento – Sigüeiro (24 km)

The route will take us through small rural areas, leaving behind chapels and crosses.

Sigüeiro – Santiago (16 km)

The last stage is the shortest, only 12 km. This will allow us to reach Santiago with enough time to enjoy the city. From Sigüeiro you can already feel the presence of the capital in the distance. Once in Santiago, do not forget to go to the Pilgrim’s Office with your Credential to request the Compostela.

Santiago - Negreira (21 km)

The first stage of this trail has little difficulty. On your way to Negreira, you will walk through pine and eucalyptus forests, small villages and Roman bridges.

Negreira – Santa Mariña (20 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)

The stage goes all over rural areas until Cee, one of the fishing villages of the Coast of the Death.

Cee – Finisterre (15 km)

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!

Check out Finisterre

Departure from the hotel in Finisterre and end of services.

Standard category

1* and 2* hotels

These hotels offer private rooms with private bathrooms as well as other additional services that may vary depending on the type of category: restaurant service, television, room service, dry cleaning, ironing service, etc. It is common to stay in this type of hotels in the cities along the 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 . Officially, hostels and guesthouses are 1-star accommodations. However, this rating should not be taken into account when evaluating the level of comfort and quality of their services.

Superior category

3*, 4* and 5* Hotels

Typical in the large cities along the El Camino. They can be family hotels or international hotel chains. They are perhaps the most expensive alternative, although you can find different price levels according to the category and services they offer.

Hoteles Boutique

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. The establishments are located in buildings of cultural interest and great historical value, and stand out for their scenic, artistic or natural interest (including ancient palaces, monasteries, fortresses, convents, fortresses…).

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.
