Camino to Finisterre and Muxía
12.4 km, 186 m up and 198 m down, through 4 places, 1 of which has somewhere to sleep. Where you stop is up to you.
Every place on the path in order, with the distance from A Peña and Piaxe. Most are too small to sleep in — a fountain, a chapel, a bar that may or may not be open — but they are what the day is actually made of.
An albergue and town bar sit up a flight of steps on your left as you arrive. The village is small but the services are welcome on this stretch.
A hamlet on the road. Much of the camino between here and Vilaserio follows the road, turning left into the forest only at the very end.
The camino leaves town along the road. If you stopped at the bar, take the steps down and behind it and turn right then left on the road. You will follow that road all the way to Cornado.
The camino leaves the road in Cornado and stays off of it nearly the whole way to Maroñas.
A quiet hamlet on the trail between Cornado and Santa Marina. No services.
You will walk along the road here for a short but potentially dangerous stretch. Pay close attention to traffic when crossing.
Distance, climb and descent are measured along the GPS track for this camino — 511 recorded points across this span, the same track the app carries. The town-to-town figures in my data put it at 11.8 km.
