Walking an average of 16.85 km (10.43 miles) per day on the Camino de Santiago. Retreat is 10 days/9 nights. The way to Finisterre & Muxía will take you to the Celtic and Roman traditions of Galicia region. We will be able to discover the Costa da Morte (the Coast of Death in English), one of the most unspoiled regions of Spain, very popular because of its cliffs.  This 115-kilometer (71.46 mile) walk takes in the wonders of Galicia’s magnificent coastline. Leaving the hustle & bustle of the Santiago de Compostela, the route passes through rural landscapes of high plateaus, forested tracks, country villages & the reward of stunning coastal trails & headlands where the pace slows to that of centuries of seafaring life.

We will be a small group, incorporating yoga and meditation into our trip. 

Dating back as far as the 9th Century, pilgrims have been walking to both Muxía & Finisterre as the final stretch of the itinerary traced by the Milky Way to the westernmost explored part of continental Europe; to Finisterre – the ‘end of the world’, where the cliffs plunge steeply to the sea & the sun disappears each evening. Once in Finisterre, we will collect your Fisterrana, a certificate of completion of the pilgrimage to ‘Finis Terrae’. Then onto Muxía, where we will get your Muxiana (Pilgrim Certificate) and have a special evening planned to celebrate our journey. We end in the historic city of Santiago de Compostela.

Finisterre & Muxía Way 
October 4–13, 2026 

October 4 – Arrival in Santiago de Compostela 

We will greet you at Santiago–Rosalía de Castro Airport (SCQ) and transfer to our hotel in Santiago de Compostela. 

After settling in, we’ll gather for a late lunch and formal welcome before enjoying some free time to explore the historic old town. We’ll turn in early in preparation for our first walking day. 

Stage 1: Santiago → Negreira 

21 km (13 miles) 

We leave Santiago and walk through pine and eucalyptus forests, small hamlets, and over Roman bridges on our way to Negreira.

Stage 2: Negreira → Santa Mariña 

20 km (12.5 miles) 

A beautiful mix of wooded paths and open countryside. We pass small Galician villages, stone granaries, pastureland, and rolling terrain as the landscape begins to shift. 

Stage 3: Santa Mariña → O Logoso 

16 km (10 miles) 

A shorter day — and a meaningful one. For the first time, the Atlantic appears in the distance. A powerful moment for many pilgrims. 

Stage 4: O Logoso → Cee 

18 km (11 miles) 

We cross San Pedro Mártir Hill before descending toward the coast. The anticipation builds as we move closer to the sea. 

Stage 5: Cee → Finisterre 

12 km (7.5 miles) + optional 3 km climb to the lighthouse 

We follow the Atlantic coastline, with sweeping views, cliffs, and wild beaches. In Finisterre, we’ll visit the famed lighthouse at the “end of the world” — a symbolic place of completion for pilgrims. 

Stage 6: Finisterre → Lires 

13 km (8 miles) 

Ocean views continue along this quieter stretch of the Camino. Lires, our stop for the night, is a small coastal village known for its peaceful beaches. 

Stage 7: Lires → Muxía 

15 km (9 miles) 

Our final walking day takes us through small hamlets and toward the fishing village of Muxía. We’ll visit the sanctuary of Nosa Señora da Barca overlooking the Atlantic — a place rich in symbolism and tradition. 

October 12 – Return to Santiago 

After a final morning in Muxía, we transfer back to Santiago de Compostela for our last evening together. 

October 13 – Departure 

We will transfer you to Santiago Airport (SCQ) for your flight home.
