The Camino de Santiago to Finisterre is a route that departs from Santiago de Compostela to reach the Finisterre lighthouse, a place known in antiquity as the end of the world. This 6-day, 5-night journey is ideal for all those people who, after reaching Santiago de Compostela, want to continue walking or for all those who, without having made a previous pilgrimage, want to discover on foot, the impressive Costa da Morte.
The Camino de Finisterre is a route full of tradition and magic, whose origins predate Christianity itself. That is why, on the tour, in addition to enjoying the Atlantic Ocean and the intense green landscape of Galicia, you will have the opportunity to discover numerous legends and traditions considered pagan.
Upon your arrival in Finisterre you will be able to apply for the Fisterrana, the official certification that you have reached the “End of the World”.

The Camino de Finisterre ends at Cape Finisterre, where kilometre 0 is located.
