The 'Outdoor' Guide book by Raimund Joos does not have the section for Fisterre to Muxia. It does have a link to a downloadable pdf, which can also be opened/stored in iBooks. It is the same format as the book. It appears to be very helpful and is free. http://camino-de-santiago.de/muxia-en.pdf

In my opinion walk to Muxia from Santiago, then go to Finnesterre.
Just an idea, lots of choices on the Camino!

Thanks for your opinion. I won't be following your idea as I want to go to Finisterre then Muxia. I agree there are lots of choices 'on the Camino', but when the choice is between walking to Finisterre then Muxia, or Muxia then Finisterre there aren't so many choices. In fact I make it two choices. I wasn't giving an opinion myself, just giving a free link to a pdf. The 'Outdoor' Guide to which I refer is the one that goes from SJPdP to Finisterre. At the end of the book is the link to Muxia.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

The format is not quite the same: The map is older and not yet very precisely,
and that's why the directions in the text is still more accurate.

Here you can compare the new and the old format:

If you choose to walk from Santiago to Finisterre first, the Municipal Albergue there is where you get your Fisterrana certificate and they will also give you a free map for the route to Muxia.

This is what we did. It is a very basic outline map (September 2012). We got to Muxia, but did get "off" the map route for a bit.
