Fantastic - i hope it is going or went well!Hi!
I'll be doing Santiago to Finisterre during Easter, taking three days as well.
I'll let you know how it went afterwards!
Last year there was a bus strike, and we took a taxi back from Finisterre, divided between the 4 of us, it was cheaper than the bus. We loved Finisterre and would have spent more time there if possible.
Off topic : After not being in a car for weeks, we were all completely freaked out by the speed of car travel after nothing but walking for weeks
Oh thats great to hear! I think well do similar! Was the taxi easy to book? Do you remember how much it cost? Thanks!Hi!
As mentioned before, I've just came back from Finisterre and it was amazing!
We started in Santiago on Friday morning, the weather wasn't helping but we endured!
The first stage is "short" and now, having done it, I would stretch it a bit, from Negreira to A Pena. Instead of 21km (Santiago - Finisterre), we should have done 29 (Santiago - A Pena).
In Negreira the Albergue Municipal was full and we stayed at the Albergue El Carmen.
Saturday we were feeling good, it wasn't raining, and we stretched it a bit. Instead of Oliveiroa, we stayed in Hospital, at the Albergue o Casteliño, which was really nice. We ended up with a 38.5km stage.
On Sunday we got up really early and by 11am we were in Cee. We took it easy afterwards and got to Finisterre by 5pm. It was an amazing feeling!
We got back to Playa Langosteira and a couple of friends went for a (very cold) bath in the ocean!
We took a taxi back to Santiago (the bus takes 3h, leaves at 7pm so we thought it wasn't worth it) and stayed at the Seminario Mayor.
After having done the Camino Inglés, I actually prefer Santiago-Finisterre. The views, the trails... There are fewer places to stop and eat and drink, but it feels more authentic.
Now we have to go back and do Santiago - Muxia - Finisterre.....
I think I still have the taxi's number if you want it, we got in Cee and just called him to book it.Oh thats great to hear! I think well do similar! Was the taxi easy to book? Do you remember how much it cost? Thanks!

Many a group return this way.
As you have previously been in SDC , leave a day earlier and enjoy Finasterre .
