Stages
Your experience begins in Santiago de Compostela.
Normally, this is where you would end the Camino, in the beautiful city of Santiago de Compostela; however, your route will start right where many other pilgrims complete their Camino.
On the first day of this beautiful Camino, you’ll begin walking from the iconic Plaza del Obradoiro in Santiago, heading towards Negreira. This first stage is relatively easy and flat, taking you through lush forests until you reach one of the most charming villages on the route, Ponte Maceira.
After passing through Ponte Maceira, the stage ends just a few kilometers later in Negreira
The second stage of the Camino to Fisterra is the longest, with the end located over 30 km from Negreira. Despite the distance, the stage isn’t overly challenging. Along the way, you’ll pass through several charming villages until you reach the final stop in Olveiroa.
This will be the final inland stage before reaching Cee on the Atlantic coast. At the beginning of the route, you’ll follow the course of the Xallas River until you arrive at the rural village of Hospital. A few kilometers further, pay attention to the fork indicating Fisterre and Muxía—take the left path to finish your stage in Cee.
This final stage of the Camino takes you along the Costa da Morte. Just past Cee lies the village of Corcubión, where it’s worth stopping to explore its historic old town, designated a Historical-Artistic Site. After visiting Corcubión, continue along the Atlantic coast toward your final destination, Finisterre. Remember, the true end lies at the Finisterre Lighthouse, about 3 km beyond the town. Reaching the “end of the world” will be a memorable reward.

FAQ
The Camino from Santiago de Compostela to Finisterre is approximately 90 kilometers (56 miles). Most pilgrims complete this route in four to five days, depending on their pace and schedule. This route, often called the Camino de Finisterre, is unique because it continues beyond Santiago to the coast, ending at the Finisterre Lighthouse, a place historically considered the “end of the world.”
The Camino Finisterre from Santiago is a moderate yet challenging route, especially for beginners, covering about 56 miles over 4-5 days. While the terrain is not especially steep, the long daily distances—particularly the 20-mile stretch from Negreira to Olveiroa—can be tough. Each stage has some gentle ascents and descents, and the route includes both forest paths and coastal trails, with beautiful but occasionally rugged landscapes. It’s a rewarding route for those who are prepared, but the distances and lack of steep climbs still make it challenging for newcomers.
