Dumb Question - Does Muxia, Fisterra to Santiago Qualify?

@Robo, The Beloved has a Compostela for that very route. I think, as advised in another thread, it’s worth checking whether you can enter Muxia as a starting point on the Pilgrims Office website. If you can, and can meet the rest of the PO’s criteria The Boss can stake her claim

Great, Now all you need to do is persuade Pat that you need to spend a couple of days in Lires while you catch a few Lubina

Yes It does being, about 119 kms, Muxia to Fisterra is 30 kms then Cabo Fisterra to Santiago is 89 kms.

Yep, looks like a valid start point!

Not a dumb question at all. I didn't know the answer. So if one day someone asks me about it I will know.

I thought I had read somwhere that you couldn't get a Compostela if you started your camino in Finistera, or Muxia. However, the first web site I went to notes:

Before they start walking, many pilgrims wonder where they should begin their Camino de Santiago to get the Compostela. We can help you with that! If you’re going to walk the Camino, as a minimum, you will need to start in Sarria if you’re on the Camino Francés (French Route); in Tui on the Camino Portugués (Portuguese Route); in Ferrol or Neda on the Camino Inglés (English Route); Vilalba on the Camino del Norte (Northern Route); Lugo on the Camino Primitivo (Primitive or Original Route) or Ourense for the Camino Sanabrés or Vía de la Plata (Silver or Mozarabic Route). Even those taking the Camino to Finisterre and Muxía in the reverse direction (towards Santiago) can get the Compostela if they take the coastal stage of the Camino between Muxía and Finisterre and complete the rest of the route to the Galician capital.


So all looks good Robo for your future plans!!

Buen Camino
