Santiago Finisterre Way
Galicia
Spain
Known as the Costa da Morte (Coast of Death), this part of northern Spain was the furthest known land until explorers set sail in the Middle Ages. In pre-Roman times, people believed this was the place where souls rose to heaven, understandable when you witness the sun slipping into the vast ocean.
The Camino Santiago to Finisterre extends the Way of St James from Santiago de Compostela to the ‘end of the Earth’, a mystical and symbolic place to complete your journey. This Camino, although ancient, is far less travelled than those that end in Santiago, leaving you to fully appreciate the tranquil beauty of this unspoilt part of Galicia with few distractions.

Day 2: Walk from Santiago de Compostela to Ponte Maceira
As you leave from Santiago, make a point of looking back at the city for memorable views. The rest of today’s walk takes you through leafy woodland and green fields broken up with intermittent villages. Cross a Roman bridge and end the stage in the pleasant town of Ponte Maceira.
Hiking about 17 km / 10.5 miles
Meals included: Breakfast
Overnight in 3* hotel in Ponte Maceira
Day 3: Walk from Ponte Maceira to Santa Mariña
You’ll need an early start and a good breakfast to help you manage the long, gradual climb out of Negreira. Once you reach the ridge, you can enjoy the pretty forest paths, peaceful rural roads and attractive scenery all the way to the village of Santa Mariña.
Hiking about 24 km / 15 miles
Meals included: Breakfast
Overnight in 3* hotel in Santa Mariña
Day 4: Walk from Santa Mariña to Oliveira
This stage is relatively short so you can have a late start to recover from the previous day. Follow country lanes and enjoy the scenery as you climb to Monte Aro before your final descent into the village of Oliveiroa.
Hiking about 13 km / 8 miles
Meals included: Breakfast
Overnight in 2* hotel in Oliveira
Day 5: Walk from Oliveira to Cee
Today’s walk is far less hilly and quite scenic, taking you between mountains, windmills and forests for your first sighting of the Atlantic Ocean and Cape Finisterre. Make your way slowly down the steep hill to the charming village of Cee with its small sandy cove and colourful fishing boats.
Hiking about 20 km / 12.5 miles

Day 6: Walk from Cee to Finisterre
The day begins with a climb through Concorbión, after which you’ll head back down to the beach.

The ‘end of the world’ is further 3 km from the fishing village and marked with a lighthouse.
