Finisterre and Muxía, the end of the Camino


Pilgrims reach Santiago and discover the Camino does not end there. Two capes on the Atlantic claim the finish: Fisterra, where the Romans believed the world stopped, and Muxía, where the stone boat of the Virxe da Barca came ashore. On foot they are three more days. With a private vehicle and driver you see both in one, along the shore Galicians named the Coast of Death.
Why this day
- Both official ends of the Camino in a single day, Fisterra and Muxía
- The Ézaro, the only waterfall in Europe that drops straight into the sea
- Carnota, the longest beach in Galicia and its 35-metre hórreo
- Ponte Maceira, the medieval bridge pilgrims cross on the way out of Santiago
- Your own pace: stops last as long as you want, no group to wait for

Frequently asked questions
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle. €649 covers up to 4 passengers and €849 up to 8, so the more of you travel the less each pays: at eight it works out at €106 per person.
Is lunch included?
No. We stop in the port of Fisterra, where the fish comes off the boats. Tell us in advance and we book a table.
Can we get the Fisterrana or the Muxiana certificate?
No. Those are issued only to pilgrims who arrive on foot or by bicycle. Arriving by vehicle does not qualify, and we would rather tell you now than at the counter.
How long is the day?
Around nine and a half hours, roughly 250 kilometres. We leave at 08:30 and you are back in Santiago about 19:00.
Can you collect us from anywhere in Santiago?
Yes, from any hotel, flat or address in the city, and from the airport if you are arriving that morning.
