It's beautiful both directions, there's no wrong choice!Hi, in a few days I will be walking to Cabo Finisterre. I am planning on walking the road in one direction and the alternative trail in the other direction to make a loop walk. Is one particular direction better than the other?
Thanks!
That's exactly my recommendation.Hi, I think you are talking about the way from Fisterra village to the lighthouse? I first took the way over the hills: so you have a beautifull view over the cape when you arrive. In my opinion the way back along the road is saver if you return later in the darkness. I was glad to have my torch
Ha. I am specifically interested in the 3 km to and from the Finisterre lighthouse.My first thought was that you want to walk West out on the loop and East returning, but that probably isn't what you are looking for.
I think if I were doing the complete loop, I would go Santiago - Finisterre - Muxia - Santiago.
To and from the lighthouse I've always taken the same road.Ha. I am specifically interested in the 3 km to and from the Finisterre lighthouse.
Will just have time to walk to Finisterre and then maybe bus to Muxia for an afternoon before heading back to Santiago for an early train.
Ok your second picture sold me. I will take that route. Now hopefully I have as nice as weather as you did!You should try the trail up the other side. Great views and you approach the lighthouse from above. It's easy to follow the trail with the mapy.cz app (green line).

Good to know! I did see that view of the lighthouse from where it looks like RVs park, but I didn't realize there was that trail on the other side of the peninsula. Next time.You should try the trail up the other side. Great views and you approach the lighthouse from above. It's easy to follow the trail with the mapy.cz app (green line).
The trickiest part is finding the beginning of the trail!
I really needed mapy.cz for this part.
Fantastic!Ok, I did this route this morning. 100% (x1000!!) recommend! It was magical.
Nope, I also use mapy and there are some green arrows spray painted on the sidewalk. The weather was fantastic and I am hoping for a nice sunset tonight on the beach that the alternative trail also leads to. No need to walk back out to the lighthouse. I am done walking lolFantastic!
It looks like the weather cooperated.
Did you have any trouble finding the start of the trail?
Mind the warnung NOT TO SWIM THERE, as it is very dangerous !Nope, I also use mapy and there are some green arrows spray painted on the sidewalk. The weather was fantastic and I am hoping for a nice sunset tonight on the beach that the alternative trail also leads to. No need to walk back out to the lighthouse. I am done walking lol
I wonder if the arrows are new. I don't remember seeing them five years ago.Nope, I also use mapy and there are some green arrows spray painted on the sidewalk.
I have just done this and the signing is very poor- use Wise Pilgrim to ensure you stay on the trail. I missed a turn coming out of Cee and ended up walking on the hard shoulder of a road with a constant uphill gradient for about 11-12 kms rising about 400 mts over this distance- not pleasant. The signage all the way to SDC is poor.If you’re walking towards SdC from Fisterra the section from Cee to Capela de San Pedro Martir is a long uphill slog. There are some nice views into Cee if you’re decending that section.
