    Finisterre or Muxia first?

    I've done it both ways and I think there are pros and cons for both. I personally enjoyed the scenery better walking to Muxia first and then to Finisterre and would recommend doing it that way around. However, you miss the town of Cee doing it that way and that's quite a nice town as well...

    Muxiana compostela

    I meet a chap on the Primitivo who had done so many Camino's he now didn't bother collecting the Credential. He still walks the Camino at least once a year but just didn't bother with it anymore. How many people do that especially those who have walked a number of times and it never gets...

    Muxiana compostela

    The Cathedral will tell you that the Camino has nothing to do with the extended walk from Santiago to Finisterra or Muxia. Therefore the rules about receiving the Compostela are not necessarily applied to receiving the Finisterran or the Muxianna. However, they tend to use the same rules as a...

The hospitaleiro at Finisterre Municipal Albergue checked my credential and quizzed me about my walk and if I indeed walked the route from Santiago. It wasn't a problem and issued me my Finisterran. It can be sent on to...

    To Finisterre

    No it was wet to start with but my last day (9th Mar) was a lovely day. Overall my whole journey was wet but not really cold, but I prefer the cold anyway!

    To Finisterre

    The certificates are only issue on the day by the Municipal albergue or you can obtain one from the local authority (since found out it's issued by the tourist office). The albergue will examine your passport (credential) and ask you some questions before they issue a certificate. The...

    To Finisterre

    Hi, I've walked this route at the beginning of March after starting my Camino from Irun. I would stay the night in Santiago and then start the following day. If you're not in a rush I'd say it can be done comfortably in 3 days but it depends on the distances you want to do in a day. My own...
