If we only knew about the green markings! We left Fisterra in the morning, only knowing that there is some way to Muxia. Asked the local who didn't have any clue whatsoever, so we had to invent our own pathBased on your pictures, I believe I did this also but in the other direction. This was several years ago. When you got up to the top of the cliff, there were green arrows but not always clear which way to go.
Well, we walked only one day there out of many, from Fisterra to Lires, so even if you are short of time you could still do a bit of it on the spot. Walking the whole route would take some planning as it seems like a relatively wild country out there.I've said it before and will probably say it again: I do not have a bucket list, but the Camino dos Faros is on it.
The pictures are wonderful, an amazing world in one day.
Thank you for sharing your experience and breathtakingly beautiful photos. We did the Camino Finisterre a couple of years ago and when you first get sight of the Atlantic, it's a wonderful feeling. The most amazing place for me was Muxia and the beautiful church on the headland with its bells ringing out above the crashing waves. It was a very spiritual experience.At the end of my first Camino I happened to walk a day on the Camino dos Faros - by accident, out of negligence and lack of info rather then planning and willI now realise that it was an amazing gift from the universe to me! The route walked: Finisterre/Fisterra to Lires in the direction of Muxia - through bushes, brumbles, heather and wild beaches. No maps, no internet, no gadgets, just walking to the north. That was definitely the most memorable day of my whole Camino! I walked the Portugues Central from Porto that time. That Camino ended for me not in Fisterra or Muxia but out there, on the beach in Lires. Where I was overwelmed and swept away by the utter beauty and where my heart, soul and long suffering legs found peace.

Bom Caminho!
My fav stretch there is located after Corcubion where we stayed in the amazing San Roque donativo. The beaches from Corcubion onwards: Playa de Estorde, Sardineiro, Playa de Langosteira - all before Fisterra. They reminded me a bit of my native land in Russia and beaches with dunes in the Kuronian Spit National park. Via Baltica (a Camino) passes there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curonian_SpitWe did the Camino Finisterre a couple of years ago and when you first get sight of the Atlantic, it's a wonderful feeling.

I would highly recommend it if you like a challenge, amazing scenery and solitude - we hardly saw a soul the whole route until we got to Muxia.
I did several different Portuguese caminos. The Central one from Porto, my first one, was full of amazing people on the way, so nature was less important for me there. My fav Portuguese one in terms of nature is Portugues Interior from Viseu. If you like off the beaten tracks, wild nature, solitude, mountains, then you might consider this route for the future. I posted about it here: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...-portugues-interior-from-viseu-my-blog.62881/ and https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...port-from-portugues-interior-june-2018.56758/ We haven't met a single pilgrim for 9 days there untill we reached Sanabres!Stunning scenery, wild coast and few people. I did the Camino Portugues shortly after and it seemed very ordinary. If you are interested I uploaded my trip report to the forum.
