Epilogue from Santiago to Fisterra

Many pilgrims choose to continue their journey once they get to Santiago de Compostela. If that is not your case and you are doing just this epilogue to Fisterra, you can travel to Santiago by your own means or we can help you organise a transfer from any airport or station.

We recommend to arrive in Santiago with enough time to walk around the old town and visit some of the most important places in the historical centre, such as Praza do Obradoiro and the cathedral. Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to taste the excellent local gatronomy.

Along the 21 kilometres of this stage, you will cross charming rural hamlets, pine and eucalyptus forests, as well as the magical Ponte Maceira, with its Roman bridge over the river Tambre.

Once in Negreira, do not miss out on the local architecture or the monuments to the pilgrim and to the emigrant, although it is important to have a good rest, for tomorrow’s stage will be more challenging.

This is one of the most beautiful stages of this route to Fisterra, walking through dense forests full of oak, chestnut and beech trees, that will make you forget about the tarmac and the stale air from the busy cities, at least for a while.

Although it is a long stage, Olveiroa’s reservoir is worth visiting, just a short walk from the village, across the bridge and following the river, where you will also have the chance to see some centenarian hórreos (ancient raised granaries).

Once again, you will be facing a long stage, which will be taking you, step by step, closer to the finish line: Fisterra cape, once considered the end of the world by the Romans, as it is the westernmost point of mainland Spain and where you will have the opportunity to see one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world.

Before that, however, you will have to walk across little hamlets, first rural and then coastal, as well as seafaring towns such as Cee and Corcubión, the latter declared Historic-Artistic site.

After check-out, our services will have finished. If you don’t do it in the evening, we recommend you to spend the morning walking around the village, taking a stroll to the lighthouse or just taking a dip in one of the beaches of “the end of the world”.
