Camino de Santiago – From Santiago to Finisterre “The Path to the End of the World”

1st Day: Santiago de Compostela

Free arrival in Santiago de Compostela. Overnight stay.

2nd Day: from Santiago de Compostela to Negreira (20.6 km)

Breakfast. 21 km stretch that alternates inhabited centers, countryside, hills and scattered patches of oaks and eucalyptus. The route starts from Obradoiro square. From here you will have to start following the yellow arrows that will demarcate the entire path. With your back to the cathedral, keep right and walk along Rúa de Hortas until the traffic lights and then continue along Rua do cruceiro da Gaia. Through a labyrinth of streets, some dirty and others concreted, it ascends through small towns, reaching the Alto do Vento, from where a descent into Aguapesada begins. Finally we arrive at Negreira. Overnight stay.

3rd Day: from Negreira to Olveiroa (33.6 km)

Breakfast. The route is enclosed between two rivers, the Tambre and the stone in Cornovo and arrives in Vilaserío. The second stage leads to Santa Marina, the stretch is decidedly gentler and leads to the municipality of Mazaricos where you come across the agricultural village of Maronas with its horreos characteristics. The third part climbs up to Monte Aro offering broad views of the region, the Xallas river and its coast, then descends to Ponte Olveira and, crossing a small bridge, without entering Dumbría, turn left to reach Olveiroa. Overnight stay.

4th Day: from Olveiroa to Corcubión (21.4 km)

Breakfast. You initially go down a gentle slope and the route up to the Village of Hospital is a real spectacle thanks to the splendid views offered by the view of the Xallas stream that runs alongside the road. Shortly after Hospital the road opens into a roundabout and you will find the indication of the Bifurcation of the Cammino in the direction of Muxia (on the right) or Fisterra (on the left). Following the Camino to Fisterra, a path opens up before you which will lead you to the Cruceiro di Marco do Couto among pines and eucalyptus. Arrival in Corcubión. This modest but captivating town (inhabited by around 1,800 inhabitants has the meaning of "bottom of the lake", and was declared a Historical - Artistic heritage in 1984. It was anciently inhabited by Celts who left their mark in the strong defense of Mount Quenxe, a privileged point of view overlooking the entire estuary.

5th Day: from Corcubión to Finisterre – Finisterre Cabo (14.0 km)

Breakfast. The road starts uphill towards San Roque and then goes back down to Amarela and Estorde. Leaving Sardineiro you arrive at a viewpoint from which a panoramic view opens onto the wide Langosteira beach, towards which you then descend. You arrive in Finisterre through the San Roque neighborhood. But the Camino has not yet come to an end, the final destination is the lighthouse of Cape Finisterre. The KM 0 Stone welcomes you to the lighthouse. Seeing the Sun disappear under the ocean is a unique sight that repays the road travelled. Overnight stay.
