From your point of arrival, use the public transport information we provide to make the journey to Santiago de Compostela.

The trail winds through enchanting eucalyptus and ancient oak forests, weaving past lush farmland and charming Galician villages adorned with rustic stone houses and hórreos. A rewarding climb to Alto do Mar de Ovellas offers breathtaking panoramic views that stretch across rolling hills. The journey then descends to the stunning medieval bridge of Ponte Maceira, a picture-perfect spot where a 14th-century stone arches span the sparkling Tambre River beside a quaint mill and cascading weir. Finally, a peaceful, gentle ascent through serene woodland guides you into the town of Negreira, an ideal place to rest and soak in the magic of Galicia.

Today’s hike leads into quieter, more remote countryside, with a steady sense of solitude building throughout the day. You’ll pass fields edged with stone walls, scattered farms, and peaceful woodland paths. From Santa Mariña, a rewarding climb to the shoulder of Monte Aro (556 m), the highest point on the Camino Finisterre, where sweeping views reveal the quiet beauty of rural Galicia. The trail descends through patchwork fields to the charming village of Olveiroa, known for its traditional stone houses and iconic hórreos.

From Olveiroa, a wonderfully scenic stretch unfolds through tranquil woodland and rolling hills, leading to the peaceful hamlet of Hospital. The trail leaves Hospital with a gentle climb through remote moorland and forest. At the Cruceiro da Armada, the ocean comes into view in a breathtaking moment. A dramatic descent through pine forest leads to Cee, a lively coastal town nestled beside the sparkling estuary. The trail leaves Cee along quiet lanes and rises gently through pine forest to reveal stunning views of the Atlantic. Passing through the seaside village of Corcubión and the peaceful hamlets of Amarela and Sardiñeiro, the path winds above golden beaches before the iconic lighthouse of Cape Finisterre comes into view, marking the symbolic end of the journey at the “End of the World.”

Take a bus from Finisterre to Santiago. There are regular bus and train services from Santiago. Your hosts can usually provide the most accurate local details, but if you need additional guidance, our team is happy to help.
