Can I start in Muxia

[kessey11]

I am entering the last few days of my Camino to Santiago and have planned for 2 extra days that I won't need. I would like to walk some of the finisterre Camino; particularly Muxia to Finisterre.
Is it possible to bus from Santiago to Muxia and get a credential in order to walk from Muxia to Finisterre?

You can just use your existing credencial, no need for a new one, unless you want to. Then pick one up at the pilgrims office. Buen Camino, SY

You do not need a new Credencial to walk from Muxia to Finisterre or vice versa; just use the same Credencial that brought you to Santiago.

Enjoy your journey!

So it is possible to start it in Muxia rather than from Santiago?

Why does it matter? Is there some kind of certificate for walking to Muxia or Finisterre??

You can start whereever you want and don't even need a credencial as most albergues are not reserved for pilgrims and are happy to welcome anyone. To be sure jut visit the Eroski site, it tells you which are open to anyone.

Yes there are certificates issued by both towns if you can show that you walked all the way.

Where are the offices that issue these certificates?

In the past it has been the municipal albergue in each village that issues the certificate.

Don't you have to jave walked from Santiago to get the Fisterana & Muxiana? Walking the 30km between the two doesn't get you anything, well, anything but a beautiful walk.

Sorry, if I was unclear. Both Finisterre and Muxia issue certificates if one can show via a credential to have walked from Santiago. Furthermore in the past the certificates were issued by the municipal albergues in each village, ie in Finisterre and Muxia.

I walked from Santiago to Muxia first. It was beautiful and so relaxed. Stayed in Muxia for 3 days, really lovely. Then walked to Finisterre in one day. There were 4 of us and it was glorious. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I think I came home with like 4 cerificates. It was also the 800 year anniversary of St. Francis so the Franciscan monestary in Santiago was also offering a certificate.
