Some but not all, and other routes too.
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 one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

The distance should be roughly 2.25 km.

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.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.

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