Hi!! I'm looking for about the same advice!! I am actually starting in Porto and wanting to go directly to Finisterra, and then to SdC. If ever you have info, let me know and if I do I'll let you know... Cheers,... and Buen Camino. PS.. this will be my second. I did SJPDP to SdC last year.

SDC to Finisterre is a three to four day walk, Finisterre is not a city but a seaside town and IMO is worth the hike. You can get a bus back to Santiago and then one from there to Porto as far as I know.
Buen Camino.

Or you could always 'wing it'. Follow the Camino Portugues from Porto to Padron and then cut west to Serra de Outes to eventually join the Camino Finistere near Mazaricos. From Padron to Finisterre the distance would be roughly 80 k.

Ask for Begonia, she has a small guest house past the stark modern albergue she's a wonderful person. There is a funny Muxia document like a Compostela availabe at the library=open irregular hours. Just before Muxia, in the village of Figueiras, is the glorious Romanesque Church of San Xulián de Moraime – you will need some luck to see the inside – a wedding perhaps, Sunday mass, or God Forfend a funeral. It is marvelous!
