I will walk the Camino Portugues with my sister and once I arrive in Santiago I will be travelling on my own. Is it safe and would there be a route you'd recommend to go to Muxia or Finisterre first and how many days should it take?

SdC to finisterre is 3 or 4 days. I walked it in 3 beautiful 30 something (km) days. Lots of people do. One guide says 3, another says 4. It all depends on you.

From Finisterre to muxia is 1 day.

The route is perfectly safe with plenty of pilgrims around. No worries.

Which one first? I liked walking to finisterre first, but i can imagine that you want finisterre to be your last day as well. With the lighthouse, the sunset and the 0,00km waymarker and all.

Hi all, I'm currently doing a 10km (ish) a day walk from Santiago to Finisterre and, on the whole, finding it a great way to walk. I was worried that the shorter distances each day would leave too...
hi, looking for some extra info on the bus from Finisterre to Santiago from anyone taken the bus recently (like in 2024, maybe in May particularly). Is there a schedule online? can I buy tickets...
