Hola peregrinos. I'm looking at doing the round circuit to the coast after the Salvador/Norte next year. How many days did it take you? Thanks in advance. Sara
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Me usually:

Santiago to Finisterre 4 days (can be easily done in 3)
Finisterre to Muxia 1 day
Muxia to Santiago 3 days

Longest it took me Santiago to Finisterre was 7 days!

So can be done easy enough in 7 days with no days off.

I am going to do the round circuit in October after the CP. I’m in no hurry, planning on 10 days, 4 to Finisterre, 2 to Muxia wth a stop in Lires and then 4 Muxia to SdC.

That sounds like how I did it , relaxed and in no hurry because that is some of the best routes I have done.
 
In April this year I walked SDC to Muxia in 4 days: Negreira, Mt Alto, Dumbria and Muxia. 4 days is nice ... not especially challenging. I did this as a stand-alone Camino though, and it was more than enough for some of my group.

After my Camino del Norte this year, I went again. SDC to Muxia as above, using the same 4 day route. I then took two days to Finesterre with a stop at Lires, one day would have been enough really. We then took four days to walk back too.

Doing this in 7 days would be a bit much I think. Walking back was a bit of a drag too ... after 47 days walking with the pilgrims, I didnt much enjoy walking against the tide per se.

Some recommended stops:

Day 1 Negreira - Albergue Bergando - About <1km outside of town, but its really nice. Log cabin style on a kind of farm. A lot of animals and horses there.

Day 2 Mazaricos - Monte Aro - this is roughly 27km from Negreira. A really really nice place with great food too. Fairly new.

Day 3 Dumbria - The municipal is functional, but this is then an easy 17km day.

Day 4 Muxia - I've stayed in 2 places here, the municipal is quite nice and has a terrace upstairs. If you are lucky you can catch a sunset here.

Finesterre - Albergue Le Paz, I like the location of this one ... it's the last one before the lighthouse I think. It's quite a basic hostel, but being closer to the lighthouse works for me.

I sleep so much better when there's a privacy curtain on the bunk bed. Can anyone recommend an albergue with privacy curtains based on recent experience in Finisterra, please?
Hello. Can anyone advise on how far in advance Monbus tickets can be booked online?
