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
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
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.
In my opinion walk to Muxia from Santiago, then go to Finnesterre.
Just an idea, lots of choices on the Camino!
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.

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.
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

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:

Bon Camino !

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.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
