    can this be done?

    Hi. Having walked the 200 km Santiago - Fisterra - Muxia - Santiago I can tell you that the authorities will NOT let you count any stage starting in Santiago ! Your friend will have to start his distance calculation from Negreiro and say he/she started there. I'm assuming that trip is doable by...

    Indecision ....

    Can I recommend the Camino dos Faros - it's an 8 day walk from Malpica to Finisterre that passes through Muxia but sticks to the coast so you have the chance to swim and walk and still have enough time to walk to Santiago and if you get a credencial in Muxia you can pick up another Compostela...

    How many days to plan from Santiago-Finisterre-Muxia

    Sorry, misread your post. You're going the opposite way. Your stop is Lires which will be a tough stage with a lot of ascent. It's worthwhile for the view. Second day is Lires to Muxia and you'll pass through Nemińa witihin 40 mins. Check with locals for the route to Nemina and Dos Faros because...

    How many days to plan from Santiago-Finisterre-Muxia

    I dont think there is. It's very small. The Spanish couple who shared much of that walk with us were booked thru a company who quoted Nemińa as the end of the stage BUT there was a taxi waiting for them which brought them to Lires and was supposed to collect them next morning and bring them back...

    How many days to plan from Santiago-Finisterre-Muxia

    The 2 major reason people walk to Finisterre first is because it's much better known and secondly the signs on pillars indicate that direction but not the Dumbria to Muxia direction (unless this has recently been addressed). You're more likely to miss a turn on the Muxia-first version !

    How many days to plan from Santiago-Finisterre-Muxia

    Hi Lynne. It's relatively new and not yet officially sanctioned by Galician tourism. It is NOT a pilgrim walk or part of Camino de Santiago but does share a small section of ground. Dos Faros means "the Lighthouses" so it is a 200 km walk from Malpica along the Costa de Morte and passes a dozen...

    How many days to plan from Santiago-Finisterre-Muxia

    For what it's worth - the round trip Santiago - Fisterra - Muxia - Santiago is exactly 200 km and takes 7 days. It involves repeating a stage or 2. An alternative to the long day Fisterra - Muxia is the 2 day Camino dos Faros which sticks to the coast and is very beautiful, involves a lot of...

    Camino dos Faros

    I think they change timetables according to season but we had to go via Coruńa. There are regular buses (2 or 3 a day) from Coruńa but they had withdrawn the Santiago - Malpica bus at very short notice just before we arrived. Had a quick rush to railway station in S de C to catch 5pm train and...

    Camino dos Faros

    Hi Alitramonto. We saw half a dozen beaches with surfers with camper vans and several tents. So it can be done. However I would not recommend it. There are at least half a dozen steep downhill tracks where maximum care must be taken or you will fall into the sea. The surface on some of these...

    Camino Dos Faros and Muxiana/Finisterrana

    Hi there. The Camino dos Faros as said by others, has nothing to do with The Camino de Santiago. I've walked it - it's wonderful. Forget about sellos. Caminoways give you a Credencial, but it is for the "extended Camino and starts from Santiago (placenames are written on the Credencial. This...

    Camino dos Faros

    Hi Llew and the other people thinking about doing "Dos Faros" it's really lovely, a bit challenging and there are not many fellow walkers. These photos are only a snippet of what you can expect!

    Camino dos Faros

    Hope you dont mind me butting in but I've just completed this Camino a couple of weeks ago. There is NO accomodation at either place so you need to get a taxi (approx €10) to either your starting point for that day or to your destination the following day. You arrange a taxi then to bring you...

    Camino dos Faros

    Better be more precise with my wording. Meant "post" and my impression was an implication that camping would solve the problem of places with no accomodation. Apologies if I misinterpreted your post.

    Camino dos Faros

    There is NO pilgrim style accomodation as this is not a pilgrimage route. My girlfriend and I are doing this next week and will be able to provide you with any info you want when/if (!) we finish.

    Camino dos Faros

    I think I read that some of this Camino is through a National Park or Biosphere and camping would not be allowed but check this out !

    Camino dos Faros

    The locals suggest you use taxis at those 2 destinations either back to your previous accomodation from the night before onr on to your next stay and the following morning use taxi to go back to pick up your walk from where you stopped. My girlfriend and I are doing this Camino next week.
