Camino Fisteria
There are many Pilgrims who continue their Pilgrimage to the Atlantic Ocean after they have embraced the Apostle Santiago and obtained their Compostela. They end their journey at Cape Fisterra on the Costa Da Morte (Coast of Death), where pagans believed the sun died and the worlds of the dead and the living became closer. Prayers and offer rings would be made to appease the gods. This leg entitles you to the ‘Fisterrana’, which you obtain at the Fisterra Town Hall on arrival. This document certifies that you have reached the End of the World. In Muxia legend has it that the Virgin arrived in a boat to encourage Santiago Apóstol when he preached in Hispania. In this beautiful town you will find the Sanctuary of Santa María de la Barc, and here you will be able to obtain your Muxiana, certifying that you have reached the Sanctuary.

Continue on along a mountain range and cross the River Barcala. Climb Monte Aro and be rewarded with great views of the Fervenza’s Dam. Carry on via rolling hills and green pastures to the tiny village of Olveiroa (A transfer can be provided to shorten today’s walk by 10kms).
Day 4

Follow the river to Logoso and pass the Nosa Senora Chapel, the Chapel of Our Lady. Continue on the scenic downhill route through pine groves until you get your first glimpse of the Atlantic Ocean. Overnight in the delightful coastal town of Cee.
Day 5
Cee to Finisterre 12 km + 7 km return to Cape Fisterra
A lovely walk today hugging the cliffs and the coves in the bay. Pass through Finisterre town to end up at the Cape and its striking lighthouse. Maybe you will be lucky enough to see one of the best sunsets in the world, at the End of the World. Note it is 3.5kms from Finisterre to the Cape and 3.5kms to return.

Arrangements end after breakfast or continue on to Muxia.
Fisterra (Finisterre) to Lires, 13 km
Departing the town of Finisterre enjoy the coastal walk to the Lires estuary, where a perfect swimming beach awaits you. We think this is one of the Camino’s most beautiful spots.
Day 7
Lires to Muxia, 16 km
A steady climb through Frixe before descending to the white sands and a welcome swim at Praia de Lourido. From there follow the rugged coastline to the quaint fishing village of Muxia - famous for both its seafood and its mix of pagan and religious traditions. See the ‘rocking stones’ overlooking the Atlantic and visit the sanctuary of Nosa Senora da Marca
said to have curative powers!
