How fit do I need to be?

No technical skills are needed, but some experience of multi-day hiking helps. Expect a mix of flat sections and tougher climbs and descents, and one long day to Olveiroa.

Can I add Finisterre to another Camino?

Yes. Many pilgrims walk on to Finisterre after reaching Santiago. Talk to our team about adding it to your trip.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes. Collect stamps in your pilgrim passport along the way to receive the Finisterrana, the certificate for walking to Finisterre. Your passport and scallop shell will be waiting at your first accommodation.

When is the best time to go?

Spring (April to June) and fall (September to early November) bring milder temperatures and quieter trails. Summer is busier, but the Galician coast stays milder than inland Spain.

Which meals are included?

A continental breakfast is included each morning. Lunch and dinner aren't included, but most places offer a good-value pilgrim's menu in the evening for around €10.

Can I walk the Camino Finisterre solo?

Yes, this trip is open to solo travelers.

Can I add extra nights?

Yes. Need extra nights before, during or after your trip? Call us or visit our Help Center and we'll arrange it.

Pre-booked accommodation with breakfast, luggage transfers from Santiago to Finisterre, your pilgrim passport and shell, an optional transfer on day 3, maps and route notes in our app, and 24/7 support.

Camino Finisterre

Finisterre translates as the 'end of the world', and for many pilgrims the Camino isn't complete until they can walk no further. The Camino Finisterre continues west from Santiago de Compostela through the Galician countryside and medieval villages to Cape Finisterre on the Atlantic coast.

Our 6-day trip covers 55 miles (89 km) in four walking days, via Negreira, Olveiroa and Cee. It's a natural finish to any Camino, or a short pilgrimage in its own right, and quieter than the final stages into Santiago.

Every trip includes pre-booked accommodation with breakfast, daily luggage transfers, your pilgrim passport and scallop shell, and turn-by-turn navigation in our app, with 24/7 support while you walk.
