Camino to Finisterre and Muxía
12.2 km, 121 m up and 342 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 Hospital. 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.
The bar here is the last place to stock up on food and water before the paths diverge. If you're heading to Finisterre, there's a fountain between here and Cee but very little else. If you're heading to Muxia, Dumbria ha…
If you are continuing to Finisterre then the bar here is the last place to stock up on water or grab a sandwich. There is a fountain between here and Cee but very little else.
From the roundabout with the twin markers, take the paved road to the left and alongside the massive factory. The camino follows the road for 300m before leaving it to join a trail on your right. IF you are headed to Finisterra from this point, all the way to the first building in Cee, the camino remains well isolated from the road and any form of development beyond the two chapels mentioned below.
The camino between Dumbría and Trasufe requires you to cross the busy AC-552 road, nothing too major be it is in a bend where drivers can easily overlook a crossing pilgrim.
A hamlet between Dumbria and Senande. The camino requires you to cross the busy AC-552 road here -- it's in a bend where drivers can easily overlook a crossing pilgrim. Be careful.
Two bars along the main road, and a third with a small shop after you leave the road toward A Grixa. A useful resupply point, though don't expect a wide selection.
A hamlet on the trail between Senande and Quintans. No services. The walking through here is quiet Galician countryside -- eucalyptus groves, stone walls, the occasional farm dog.
Distance, climb and descent are measured along the GPS track for this camino — 298 recorded points across this span, the same track the app carries. The town-to-town figures in my data put it at 9.4 km.
