(O'Cebreiro to Santiago) OR (Sarria to Finisterre) with 7-8 days walking

Time of past OR future Camino
Plan to walk from Sarria to Santiago and on to Finisterre in April 2016.
I am trying to decide which of these two routes to take as I have heard wonderful things both about O'Cebreiro and Finisterre. I'm not sure I can fit both in with only 7-8 days of walking available.

I consider myself to be in very good walking shape but this will be my first camino and don't want to feel rushed through it to meet a goal.

Any ideas on pros and cons of O'Cebreiro versus the walk on to Finisterre?

Thanks for all of your help and for previous posts that convinced me I could not do both in my allotted time.
 
Altus 24 Liters daypack (DENON 24 H30)
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
O Cebreiro is harder to get to, so I would suggest Sarria to Fisterra (or Muxia).
 
2024 edition: The Brierley Camino Frances Guide
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.
Yes, if you start in Sarria you have the choice of a few days in Santiago (and do the tour of the Cathedral roof, check out the fresh market, try the fabulous tapas bars in Ruo Franco!) or of walking on.
 
Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
Hi Seth, I'm with Kanga. Stay in Santiago for a few days .
Wish you well and a Buen Camino, Peter.
 
On a time budget of 7-8 days...start Sarria hike to Santiago and enjoy Santiago but day bus tour Finisterre to Muxia...or Start Santiago hike to Finisterre and Muxia then bus back to Santiago and enjoy Santiago.
