I'm starting CF from SJPDP in couple weeks. If I reach SDC in good enough time, and decide to go ahead and complete the Camino Finistere/Muxxia, do I need to get a new Credencial from Pilgrims office in SDC ? Has anyone done this Camino on foot, who could answer these questions....do you know how long it generally takes, and are the albergues as numerous as they are on the CF?

Hola - no need for a new credencial if there is space in your existing one. The route is lovely and takes 4/5 days. There is accommodation quite regularly spaced. If you do to the Tourist Office of Galicia at number 32 in the same street as the Pilgrims' Office they will give you all of the information you require.

Thank you Johnnie, I have an unused Credencial for Via de la Plata (it has just one sello at seville), can I take it for stamps in case my new one runs out along the CF, just in case. What do people normally do ...say if they take it slowly along the CF and their credencial becomes full of stamps before the end?

You can get a second Credencial along the camuno if you run out of space on the first. In a pinch just add a sheet of paper and have it stamped as you move along.

Yes - credenciales are not route specific - you can use them on any route.

Buen camino

Hi! Peregrina Nicole is back! This year I'm planning on doing Muxia-Fisterra-Santiago as a route to get a Compostela. If Fisterra-Muxia-Santiago is OK, I'm assuming that the other way around is too. I was wondering where I could find a bux timetble to get out to Muxia. I'm sure it must be on the forum somewhere, but I'm not used to this layout.

Thanks falcon! I did try the Muxia tourist office website, but didn't think to look at the Ayuntamiento!

Yes it does. I've just done Muxia to Fisterra to Santiago and it does qualify for a Compostella. You have to get at least two sellos per day. It is a beautiful route but the route finding is difficult as you are going against the arrows. I'm not sure I would recommend this as a first time Camino unless you are experienced at route finding. I would definately recommend getting the John Brierley Camino Finisterre book. This has maps and it helps. However, I still got lost in a few place and I've done 7 caminos. In fact, everyone I met going 'my way' got lost. I was told (after arriving in Santiago) that there is a smart phone app that you can download and shows you where you are on the route using GPS. This would have helped. I'm currently writing a post about this route. I hope to be able to post it tomorrow.

I walked Santiago, Muxia and ended my Camino in Finisterre. Most beautiful walking. I got a Compostella for the walk from Santiago to Muxia and then a Compostella in Finisterre. Just keep in mind for the walk between Muxia and Finisterre (and vice versa) you need to get a Sello at Lires. One does need to keep an eye open for the arrows as they point both towards Muxia and Finisterre.
