Santiago - Fisterre or...?

Postby Priscillian on 29 Jan 2010, 12:00

Perhaps a silly question but I am wondering whether it would be better to walk from Santiago to Fisterre and on to Muxia or the other way around?
Whad'ya'all think?

I don't think it matters if you aren't bothered about getting the Certificates in Finisterre and Muxia. I walked fom Santiago to Muxia and then round to Finisterre. 'Twas lovely.
Regards

Thanks, John:
This what I drove last year and loved it. What about accommodation between Santiago and Muxia? Any (cheap) suggestions? I have a certificate from Fisterre from years ago.

Hi John - re your reply earlier. To get the certificates from Finistere and Muxia, is it then necassary to walk to Finistere first? If you just wanted a certificate from Muxia is it still necessary to go via Finistere, or can you take the diversion on the way? Is there a bus service to Compostela from Muxia? Thanks.

Hola - if you walk from Santiago to Muxia and collect some sellos on the way they will be happy to giver you the Muxia Certificate. There is a dedicated Pilgrims' Office in Muxia and a luxurious albergue :)

There are buses from Muxia to Santiago.

Thank you Johnnie. If the Good Lord's willing [and the creeks don't rise] I'll make it to Muxia in mid-May next year.
