A complete Camino Finisterre & Muxía route guide, including daily distances, elevation, accommodation, and interactive maps for each stage from Santiago to Finisterre, plus the optional Muxía extension.

Discover how I completed both the Camino de Santiago and the Kumano Kodo to earn the Dual Pilgrim certification. From choosing which pilgrimage to start with, to walking the Camino Francés and the Nakahechi route in Japan, I share my experience, timing, and tips—including why doing the Camino first lets you take part in the Taiko Drum Ceremony at Kumano Hongu Taisha.

Comprehensive guide to accommodations and expenses for pilgrims walking to Finisterre and Muxía. Includes albergue, hostel, and hotel details, plus food and transport costs.

A reflective walk to Muxía completes the Camino experience, with dramatic coastal scenery, rainbows after passing showers, and iconic landmarks like Santuario da Virxe da Barca, the zero-kilometre marker, and the lighthouse.

The final stage of the Camino Finisterre brought sunshine, ocean views, and a deep sense of completion. After receiving my Finisterrana certificate in town, I walked to Cape Finisterre’s lighthouse and the Kilometre Zero marker—the symbolic “end of the world.”

A calm day on the Camino Finisterre as the rain clears and the ocean finally comes into view. From Lago to Cee, the trail winds through hills, forests, and small villages before the Atlantic appears—a breathtaking reward after days of walking inland.

A stormy day on the Camino Finisterre turned the trail into a stream, but determination—and a bit of luck—kept the journey going. From Negreira to Lago, I walked through heavy rain, strong winds, and fleeting sunshine, discovering the quiet resilience of Galicia’s countryside.

After receiving my Compostela certificate in Santiago, I began walking toward the “end of the world.” The trail to Negreira was peaceful and lightly traveled, a sharp contrast to the crowded final stages before Santiago. Despite the distance, the day felt meditative—an entirely new chapter of the Camino experience.
