Camino Finisterre: Santiago de Compostela to Muxia - 9 Days

9 Days
Moderate

Overview

The Camino Finisterre with the Muxia Way (Section 6 of the Camino) is one of the most beautiful Camino trails. The trail has you walk west out of Santiago de Compostela for 121km to the end of the earth via Cape Finisterre to Muxia. The Muxia Way includes the stunning section along the Atlantic Coast to Muxia and the sanctuary of Virxe da Barra. The Atlantic is the traditional end of the Camino.

Pre-dating Christianity, the Camino Finisterre was once a pagan pilgrimage to the mythical Cape Fisterra on the Costa da Morte ('The Coast of Death'). The pagans believed this was where the sun died and the world of the dead and the living rubbed up against each other. A magical place, rich in pagan rites and legends, and the location of Ara Solis - an altar dedicated to the dying sun.

Eight breakfasts are included throughout the trip, served at your accommodation before each day's walking begins. Lunchtime on the Camino is worth embracing, with local cheeses, cured meats and a wide variety of breads available to pick up along the route. Come evening, many properties along the way have their own restaurants serving regional food made with local ingredients, and dinner can be added as a supplement for those who would like it included.
