Shortly after Hospital, in the middle of a large roundabout, a double mojon marks the choice between Finisterre and Muxia. This is where the two routes diverge.

Left takes you to Finisterre -- roughly 30 km, descending dramatically from the highlands to the coast at Cee, then following the shoreline to the end of the world. Right takes you to Muxia -- roughly 30 km through quieter inland territory, arriving at the Atlantic sanctuary from above.

Most pilgrims walk both, either as an out-and-back from Finisterre or as a loop connecting the two. The connecting route between Finisterre and Muxia is roughly 29 km and runs along the Costa da Morte.

The Camino:

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.

Muxia or Finisterre first?

I went to Finisterre first and then to Muxia. If I was to do it again I’d go to Muxia first and finish in Finisterre. The latter seems a more appropriate physical end point at the light house and dramatic cliff top views. There is also a small hotel there, above the restaurant. If you can get a room there that would be an excellent ending to your Camino!
