hi
from santiago which way to go : finisterre or muxia or both and where to sleep? stages from santiago?
thank you
Hi
Itâs really personal opinion which direction. Both places are wonderful but n different ways. Fisterra is larger for restaurants., sandy walks, end of the earth etc. but MĂșxia is more wild and woolly .. you can lose yourself and walk down to the rocky shores and visit the church there which suffered burning a few years ago but has been repaired. and then walk to the high hill lookout giving you 360 degree views and meditate .. just be. ...
I wanted to walk SdC to Fisterra first ; and took my time. You can pick up from SdC tourist office :
a free map/credencial showing possible stages.
@Via2010 gives a good selection but you donât need to make this decision too far ahead. I reserved the day before but most people I saw and spoke to just decided when theyâd walked as far as they wanted to. Youâll have opportunities to meet others along the way and spend time with them if you choose company.
At Fisterra, you can decide then if you want to continue or stop there a bit longer. If youâve got daily sellos/stamps , you can front up at the municipal albergue in Fisterra and claim the certificate (Fisterrana , I think itâs called. ). You can stay there too but even if you donât sleep there ., they will issue the certificate if youâve walked there.
Then I walked to MĂșxia at leusurely pace and stopped at great B&b in Lires There are several there ... mine was located closest to the path to the beach etc with cafe There is also an albergue at top of the way in Lires with restaurant attached .
I had dinner there. It looked a popular place
Next day in MĂșxia I stayed in âBella MĂșxia â which has dorms and lovely private rooms. That time I indulged in the latter. There are a number of places to stay in MĂșxia which include a municipal albergue. So accommodation should not be an issue.
You can also claim a specific certificate for walking to MĂșxia called a âMĂșxianaâ issued by the turismo office which is really close by the âBella MĂșxia â albergue.
shopping at the market in Santiago (queso y membrillo,).

Yum yum yum.
I ordered this so many times on recent April camino. But I never thought to buy the makings from the market to have on hand !! Great idea.
So to you
