Camino to Finisterre and Muxía
13 km, 322 m up and 133 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 Negreira. 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 camino leaves Negreira near the municipal albergue on the West side of town. If you stayed in that albergue, go back towards town a short distance and follow the signs to the church. If you are an early morning (in the dark) walker, do yourself a favor and scout the route the night before. It passes into the dark forest fairly quickly and does not emerge until just before Zas.
You enter Zas along the road, but leave it at the bar mentioned above. The town is small, and you will very quickly find that the camino follows a nice country trail all the way to O Rapote.
Small farming village with a picnic table and fountain at the entrance. Fill your water bottle here.
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.
Distance, climb and descent are measured along the GPS track for this camino — 792 recorded points across this span, the same track the app carries. The town-to-town figures in my data put it at 12.5 km.
