Just finished the Camino in Santiago de Compostela, and now plan to walk from Finesterre to Muxia. Is the route marked with the same yellow arrows as the French Way. Something different? Not at all? Thanks for any help you can provide about this route.

Hi Rich, yes it is well marked and it is a nice route. You can walk it all in one day, 30 k approx, or stop in Lires and take two days of 15 k each. Muxia is a much nicer end to the Camino rather than Finisterre IMO.
Buen Camino.

I second that I enjoyed Muxia more than Finisterre. Also, it's been a few years since I walked, but between Finisterre and Muxia back then there would sometimes be two sets of arrows, because some walk from Muxia to Finisterre...

I've walked it in both directions and no problems with the waymarking. I agree Muxia is a nicer place to finish the camino

In some places the arrows are red....A red F and a red M as well....(going to Finisterre, going to Muxia-returning)

... and where there are shells, these are positioned vertically, indicating that you might go either way!!

when i was walking from Muxia to Finisterre, i got a little confused at one point in a corn field. there were red arrows but i wasn't 100% sure which way to walk...and a dog magically appeared with a RED collar and led me to another sign which gave me a clearer direction...watch for magic on this route.
Buen Camino!
