Highlights

In the Middle Ages, after reaching the much-desired apostle’s tomb in Santiago de Compostela, many pilgrims would go even further to the end of the then known world: Cape Fisterra. On this journey, we follow their footsteps to reach the “end of the world” at the Atlantic in four days on the Camino Fisterra.

Past Santiago, there are still a few hills to overcome until the path becomes flatter and flatter towards the sea. The landscape often reminds us of Ireland.

After a rest day in the village of Fisterra, we continue north in two short stages. Via the beautiful village of Lires, pilgrims finally reach the small fishing town of Muxía. Also there, the cape and the local pilgrimage church Nosa Señora da Barca invite you to marvel at the sunset over the Atlantic.

During the trip, if the weather is good, pilgrims can not only gaze at the sunsets, but also go swimming in the sea on the Atlantic beaches.

Approximately 120 kilometers/75 miles

Day 2: Santiago de Compostela – Negreira

Today, as on every pilgrimage day, we offer a spiritual start. This short introduction to the day is, of course, optional. Then, the first hike to Negreira begins. Shortly after Santiago, you will have another wonderful view of the Santiago Cathedral. The Camino passes later over the gothic style bridge of Maceira until it finally reaches the town of Negreira.
(22.1 km/13.7 mi – Ascend and descend in between, moderately difficult)

Day 3: Negreira – Lago – (A Picota)

After Negreira, the Camino passes through very rural areas and many small villages where the landscape constantly reminds pilgrims of Ireland. In the small village of Lago, Pilgino pilgrims meet for the transfer to the accommodation in A Picota.
(26.5 km/16.5 mi – Longer stage, but a rather easy walk)

Day 4: (A Picota) – Lago – Cee

Return transfer to the starting point on the Camino. Through the restored, noteworthy village of Olveiroa, with its imposing corn barns, the Camino leads to the plateau before Cee. Shortly before Cee, we can see the sea for the first time.
(25.9 km/16.1 mi – Moderately difficult)

Day 5: Cee – Fisterra – Cape Fisterra

We continue along the bay of Corcubión and pass the village of the same name where the Camino goes up to the Saint Rochus height. After the Alto de San Roque, with a last steep climb to overcome, the Camino now continues steadily along the sea to Fisterra and the “end of the world.”
(16 km/10 mi – Easy)

Day 6: Fisterra

Free day in Fisterra with the option to enjoy the village and its beaches. If the weather is good, it may be possible to go swimming in the Atlantic. You should also head out to the cape this evening, at the latest, to enjoy the sunset.

Day 7: Fisterra – Lires

Pilgrims walk to the small village of Lires through beautiful forests and small villages. A slightly longer version of the Camino leads directly along the sea. Provided the weather is good, we can enjoy the sunset by the sea during dinner at the beach bar.
(13.5 km/8.4 mi – Easy)

Day 8: Lires – Muxía

Over dirt roads and small streets, through forests and across a stunning plateau, the Camino leads to the Marian pilgrimage site of Muxía. There is enough time to visit this little port town and its pilgrimage church at the cape Nosa Señora da Barca.
(15.3 km/9.5 mi – Easy)

Day 9: Muxía - Santiago de Compostela - Return Flight

Transfer back to Santiago de Compostela Airport by either the assistance vehicle or the public bus service and self-directed journey home.
