Falcon 269 is right.
What's the point of walking the camino, have you found out yet?
In ancient times people walked to Finisterre.
Then Santiago popped up.
Often people say they walk on, but don't!
Often people find the cathedral not the ultimate end (fulfilment) of their camino.
Finisterre is 'end of the world' right?
The Way promoted Muxia.
It's well marked to Finisterre, it's a nice camino.
SdC has it's rituals, you'll find out.
Finisterre also has it's own rituals.
And finally you have your rituals, look inside, you'll probably know what to do...
See Gronze.com and others for maps..
I don't think this is correct. It is my understanding that the "real" point is Muxia, and that Finisterre got well marketed due to its name. So no to a recent movie promoting it as why it is now on the map. And I have to say, on a Sunday, Finisterre feels like a tourist trap: busload after busload of people arriving, loud and boisterous, ready to buy conge shells from an outdoor shop you would expect to find in the Carribbean.
This being said, on the way up there is a cemetary worth mentioning. Designed by a well know Spanish contemporary architect, it blends into the countryside and each cript faces the ocean. I know where I want to be for eternity. The villagers never took to it, and chose to stay closer to the village, church and cemetary where their parents and grand parents are. I hope this beautiful seafront cemetary stays open.

So, back to Muxia: when you walk to the end of the village you are met with large boulders, it is with with mystical forces, some of them you can move with a finger because of how they are shaped. A history that ties Spain to Britain, to the sea, to the sun and to God. Also a story of a people who came together, and brought people from all over the world to help it clean up a beach after a tanker went aground. Magic, pure Magic. Just a few restaurants lining the port, but A de Lolo, with the owner's mother cooking but offer a modern twist on Spanish cuisine, and super fresh percebes at an excellent price on the "stripet".
Finisterra may be prettier, but the Magical experience in Muxia .... you will never forget.
