Cycling the Camino Finisterre to Muxia 3 days
Cycle to the Atlantic Coast and ‘Edge of the World’ by cycling the Camino Finisterre, a magical route in a land full of fascinating traditions, delicious seafood, and spectacular scenery.
The quiet Camino Finisterre is a unique Camino cycling route, as it is the only Camino trail starting in Santiago de Compostela and heading West to the Atlantic Ocean and Cape Fisterra. This is an ancient trail linked to the pre-Christian origins of the Camino de Santiago.
This cycling route is one of the only routes that starts in Santiago de Compostela and continues to the Atlantic Coast. Over 3 days and 4 nights, you will cycle from Santiago to Abeleiroas, climbing Mount Aro and enjoying wonderful views of the valleys below. You will then reach Finisterre’s next destination by hugging the coastline. Get there in time to watch the sunset at the world’s end.
Then, it is on to Muxia, one of the most scenic and splendid Camino trails, with pristine sandy beaches and plenty of chances to cool off in the ocean with a swim. The fishing village of Muxía is famed for its sanctuary by the ocean and ‘magic’ stones. This stunning region of Galicia is known as the ‘Costa da Morte, ‘ famous for its wild beauty, seafood, and interesting legends.
Quiet villages and hamlets, remote farmland, and unspoiled countryside await on this Camino route to the sea cliffs of Cape Finisterre, Spain’s westernmost point.
On this Camino, you can claim your ‘Finisterrana’ pilgrim certificate in Fisterra and a ‘Muxiana’ pilgrim certificate if you continue along the coast to Muxía.
This is a medium-challenge cycling route, so a good level of fitness is advised to fully enjoy it.
