If I remember well Jerry (@jerbear) walked it last summer, Laurie.
No, he was just about to begin it. He told me a lot of where he got info etc. when we accidentally ran into each other on a street a day after but my memory also has some holesSo, for the Muxia to Finisterre segment, it looks like it's 28 km by the coastal alternative from Muxia to Lires, which has several places to stay.
Did he tell us about it when we met at Tertulia? If so, it's just one more sad example of my decaying memory.
Very nice but then again any route is nice in sunny and warm weather. So is Salvador but in driving rain and wind, arrrrggghhhhhhhHere's the video from My Destination Galicia.
Where are those hill forts? And the dolmens? I guess I'll have to start before Muxia if I want to see them.
What? Are you suggesting it can be rainy and windy in Galicia?!Very nice but then again any route is nice in sunny and warm weather. So is Salvador but in driving rain and wind, arrrrggghhhhhhh
I guess there are lots of tents and other hiking stuff left in Santiago albergues after people go home. Short tour and you're set to go off without info on accommodationI'm wondering about stages and accommodations. I have it figured out between Muxia and Finisterre, but I might just be able to squeeze in the time to walk from Malpica to Finisterre rather than Santiago-Muxia-Finisterre. I've got the wikiloc tracks, so I have a good idea of the distances and elevation, but no clue about accommodations! Thanks, Laurie
p.s. Just found this link -- http://www.caminodosfaros.com/alojamientos/ That leaves only two of the ending points (Niñóns and Arou) with no place to stay.
Are there places to sleep and eat along the route or do you have to go inland to eat and sleep? If so, how much does this add to the km?Hi Laurie,
All of the Camino de los Faros is really well signed with green arrows which are a little bit smaller than the yellow arrows, mainly on the ground. It's level of difficulty for the average pilgrim is high though with many ups and downs sometimes near steep cliffs ! I've done a video of most of the route but you don't like me posting them ! If people look for Camino de Faros or the Lighthouse Way. on YouTube it appears high in the ranking and has had 1507 visits so it's of interest !!
See my earlier post with a link to accommodations. Looks like there are two "end points" where there is nothing. I guess that means calling a taxi and going to a place nearby, but I haven't done any research on that.Are there places to sleep and eat along the route or do you have to go inland to eat and sleep? If so, how much does this add to the km?

Hello just a polite request for help. I am considering walkingfrom Santiago to Fisterra in June and have all the details of albergues to fisterra but would like to split the fisterra to Muxia 30km. Are there Albergues or hotels between the two places ? Also in what location so I can plan the walk. Thanking you in anticpationThere is plenty of accommodation on the route from Malpica to Muxia for each stage so there's no problem. This comprises of hotels of 2 or 3 stars for 30-40 euros or Casas Rurales for 50-60 euros. From Muxia to Fisterra you can stay in Albergues for 12 euros or more expensive options up to 40 euros.
Consult this website for more detials : http://www.caminodosfaros.com/alojamientos/#
From the list I stayed in some excellent places where the owners were really helpful and friendly and the food was fantastic. It's a really amazing walk.
See the following video for what to expect...

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.I'm wondering about stages and accommodations.

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 !I guess there are lots of tents and other hiking stuff left in Santiago albergues after people go home.

Huh, I checked each of my posts in this thread and didn't find single question I asked,I was replying to Kinky One's question.
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.I was replying to Kinky One's question.
Woofer, did you see anyone camping on the way? I'm really interested in an independent walk with a tent, do you think it's possible, what's your impression?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 !
I am worried about picking up the route

Hi Alitramonto.Woofer, did you see anyone camping on the way? I'm really interested in an independent walk with a tent, do you think it's possible, what's your impression?
Thank you so much for your reply and advices, Woofer! Ok, we shall think about it some more.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. Good luck whatever you decide !
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 bus from Coruńa for Malpica left maybe about 7 ? Obviously you need to check train and bus timetables. Good luck !Thank you so much for your reply and advices, Woofer! Ok, we shall think about it some more.
Could you also suggest how to reach Malpica from Santiago, if you did it this way?
Look at these wikiloc tracks. Even if you don’t use a gps, you can see the path and the distances.Well...I'm upcoming April walking from SdC to Finisterre and then to Muxia and walking back to SdC. Luckily my eyes got this post and because of this I'll walk one part of the Camino dos Faros between F. and M. now! Thanks for sharing. Just one question: how many km's is it between Finisterre and Muxia. Thank you.
Thnx for the advice, Laurie. I will take a look at it and will let you know how it was. But I guess you will walk the Camino by yourself soon
