Hi!
I am planning to walk from Santiago de Compostela to Finisterre with my daughter in Semana Santa this year. We are landing in Santiago early in the afternoon on monday. I have read about the way to Finisterre and that you can make it in three or four days. Now, I would like to hear your opinions and good advice. Is it better to stay the first night in Santiago or could it be a good idea to start walking and walk just a short distance the first day? Then the walks the following days wouldn't be so long. Are there any nice albergues or accomodation that you could rekommend? We would then not walk the " normal" stages. We will return to Santiago by bus on Friday or Saturday. Think that will be enough time to spend in Santiago.We are flying back home on Sunday. Very grateful for any comments on my thoughts
I think the tourist office in Santiago has a packet they give out (free) that has all the maps and accommodation information for the walk to Finisterre/Muxia.Hi!

I did pick up that packet, but I mostly just used the website that I linked to above.I think the tourist office in Santiago has a packet they give out (free) that has all the maps and accommodation information for the walk to Finisterre/Muxia.
Has anyone on here gotten that packet and is it helpful?
Merci Fleur, I will be walking to Finisterre in May with my adult daughter, having done the CF and the CP years ago. I am 78 and rather like your relaxed schedule. Our itinerary is similar to yours, and we too will take 5 days. Thanks.Depending on how far you want to walk every day I recommend
Santiago to Negreira
Negreira to Santa Marina
Santa Marina to Hospital
Hospital to Corcubion
Circulation to Finisterra
Some are younger, fitter and will walk faster but this suited us.
There is an online guide to Fisterra and Muxia from Santiago available here:
http://www.caminodesantiago.gal/documents/17639/155453/Fisterra Muxía - Plano - EN.pdf?version=1.0
There is a version 1.0 but I do not see either a version 1.1 nor a version 2.0.
The guide gives the following three day walks:
Santiago-Negreira-Olveiroa-Muxia
Santiago-Negreira-Olveiroa-Fisterra
But you can add a one or two day walk between Fisterra and Muxia in either direction. The town of Liraes in between has accommodation.
I think more albergues have been added in recent years thus allowing you to go at a slower pace.

You can get a certificate for walking to Muxia also but I forget where you can get it. Ask around.Don't forget to collect your Finisterran (certificate) from the Municipal albergue in Finisterre.
