I will walk the Camino Portugues with my sister and once I arrive in Santiago I will be travelling on my own. Is it safe and would there be a route you'd recommend to go to Muxia or Finisterre first and how many days should it take?

Do you mean is the caminho Portuges safe ? Yes it is .
 
SdC to finisterre is 3 or 4 days. I walked it in 3 beautiful 30 something (km) days. Lots of people do. One guide says 3, another says 4. It all depends on you.

From Finisterre to muxia is 1 day.

The route is perfectly safe with plenty of pilgrims around. No worries.

Which one first? I liked walking to finisterre first, but i can imagine that you want finisterre to be your last day as well. With the lighthouse, the sunset and the 0,00km waymarker and all.
