Stage guide · Holy Year 2027
About 120 km from Santiago to the Atlantic: Ponte Maceira, the hills of Negreira and Olveiroa, the first sight of the sea at Cee and the Finisterre lighthouse, kilometre zero. Many carry on along the Costa da Morte to the sanctuary of Muxía.

Each dot is a day of walking to Muxía.
The route at a glance
To the Romans, Finis Terrae was the end of the known world. Today it is the symbolic end of the Camino: watching the sun set over the Atlantic from the lighthouse, and walking on to Muxía, where the Virgin arrived in a stone boat.
Stage by stage
The usual split: four stages to Finisterre and one more along the coast to Muxía. You can also walk it the other way round, or go to Muxía first.
Ponte Maceira, the Tambre valley and the lonely hills between Negreira and Olveiroa.
From the pass above Cee the sea appears. Cee, Corcubión, the beaches to Finisterre and the wild coast to Muxía.
Distances are approximate: they can vary by a kilometre or so depending on the variant you take.
When to go
April to October. Summer is the best time to watch the sunset from the lighthouse without rain.
In winter the Costa da Morte gets very heavy storms: rain and wind make the stages hard, although the scenery is spectacular.
In 2027, a Holy Year, many pilgrims will extend their walk to Finisterre: book in Finisterre and Muxía in summer.
The end of the world
Next to the Finisterre lighthouse stands the marker with kilometre 0.000 of the Camino. Watching the sun sink into the Atlantic from there is the ending many pilgrims have been waiting for since they set off.
With a stamped credential you can ask for the Fisterrana at the public albergue in Finisterre, and the Muxiana in Muxía.
