Muxia gets my vote too. Alburgue Bela Muxia is excellent: you can have a pilgrim dorm or the full works if you wish toThe staff are super friendly and helpful. There is also a top class restaurant attached which provides superb seafood: perfect for a post camino splurge.
Take care, be safe.
muxía, no doubtHi all! Hoping for some feedback from the group on this...I am walking the Camino Frances in March/April this year and should be in Santiago by April 17 and then I've got two days to relax (travelling by bus) in Muxia or Finisterre. Trying to decide where I should relax for those last two days before heading home to Boston. They both look lovely, need help!
Thank you!!
I say see both! I took a bus to Muxia for one night. Then a bus to Finesterre for one night. Then a bus back to Santiago. Each town has its own unique flavor. The church on the rocks by the sea in Muxia was amazing. Finesterre was much more crowded, and more like a beach town. Both are wonderful. It was a more important sense of closure for me than the crowded scene in Santiago. I was there for the feast day, July 25, 2015.Hi all!

Oh yes to Bella Muxia! We stayed in a private room but took advantage of the communal kitchen to make lunch, then treated ourselves to dinner at the restaurant you mention.Muxia gets my vote too.

I will have a day in Santiago. I hope to have some extra time - I don't want to over plan but I'm pretty fast so I hope to have some wiggle room beyond the few extra days I have blocked out for resting & exploration. I appreciate all the info everyone!You didn't say whether you are allowing any time in Santiago. The two days we spent there reuniting with our Camino family members, going to the moving mass and enjoying the charming town definitely trumped the days we spent in Finnisterre and Muxia.
So if you are choosing where to spend you time, I would stay in Santiago if you didn't allow time there, otherwise Bella Muxia is wonderful and you can take a cab to Finnisterre and walk to the 0 mile marker.
If you want to stay somewhere to relax, there is a little fishing village just before Finisterre, Seafood is excellent. Just before Muxia there is an albergue called the Little Fox House (think thats the correct name) and its specifically for pilgrims wanting to unwind before going home. I am told the food there is great. You could of course do what I did. Go on a guided tour bus to Muxia, Finisterre, Noia and a few other places of interest. Its only one day but good fun and very relaxingHi all!
