SDC - Finisterre Distances

Waka · Jul 22, 2016

I have just received the guide book from the Confraternity of St James for SDC to Finisterre and have a query on one of the distances.
The distance from Camino Real to Rapote is down as being 22.5 km, is this correct? Or is it me not rereading the guide properly?

The distance should be roughly 2.25 km.

No, it isn't.

Maybe it says 2.25 kms? Anyway, 2.25 kms could serve as a rough estimate of the distance.

Hi, Kinky, great to have these distances, thanks. Just one addition to make that popped out at me -- there are albergues in Vilaserio, one private, one municipal. I like to use Vilaserio as the first day's stop because it makes the three days to either Finisterre or Muxia much more balanced. But then with all the new places popping up, there are lots of ways to do it in four days, too.

Last year I walked to Muxia in four stages which are very similar (20/20+km): Negreira, Santa Marina, Dumbria, Muxia. Easy and very enjoyable ending of a long Camino.

Anyway a lot is happening on Finisterre route. In Vilaserio there is a small tienda now in the first house to the left you reach, actually before really descending to the village itself. New private albergue was opened in Piaxos on July 5th. And a new one in Cee. Also in Sardineiro restaurante/pension El Merendero is offering beds for 12€. Two new albergues in Fisterra too. The oldest albergue in Fisterra, La Paz, threw out 10 beds (only 16 now I think) and is much nicer.

Thank you for the responses, very useful.
The book does actually say 22.5 km, it's probably just a printing error.

I did a search in this sub-forum but couldn't find anything recent. How much cash should I bring for the Ingles? All of my pre-booked accommodations except one accept credit card. That one place...

Here is a brief outline of our Camino from Reading UK to Santiago de Compostella via the Camino Ingles. Day 1 April 7th Reading to Little London. Reading is very Pilgrim friendly, great signage...
