Camino Finisterre Route Map and Distances

The Camino Finisterre is the only Camino route that begins in Santiago de Compostela and heads west to the Atlantic Ocean. Traditionally, pilgrims continued their journey here after reaching Santiago, walking to the “End of the World” at Cape Finisterre or to the fishing village of Muxía. Covering around 90 km, it can be completed in just a few days but carries centuries of history and symbolism.

Our in-house Camino Finisterre map shows the route from Santiago through towns such as Negreira, Olveiroa, and Cee before reaching the Atlantic coast. With the Camino Finisterre route map, you can clearly see the stages, distances, and highlights, helping you prepare for this special extension of the Camino.

What is the best time to walk the Camino Finisterre?

The Finisterre Way can be walked year-round, but the best months are April to October, when the weather is mild and the Atlantic coast can be enjoyed at its best. Galicia can be wetter than other regions of Spain, so using the Camino Finisterre map alongside our weather tools helps you prepare properly for your journey.
