The albergue in Dumbria is amazing. I highly recommend it if you go that way.

We stayed at Casa a Pichona, very near Dumbria and it was outstanding. This map shows it to be only 1.5k from the Finesterre path. If you have trouble finding a place closer, this was exceptional (9.6rating) and a favorite of mine.

Trecile is correct. The Xunta albergue donated by the founder of Zara is excellent. We stayed there in 2017 and again in April this year. It is one of my favourite albergues on any Camino.

Recommend the route from Finesterre to Muxia via Lires, taking a break in Lires.

It’s on the route and it has a really good spacious albergue just before you enter the town. I did that Camino 5 times. My route was; Santiago-Negreira-Santa Mariña-Dumbria-Muxia-Lires-Finisterre.

It is much better to go to Muxia first. Then Lires and Finisterre. There are only two buses each day from Muxia to return to Santiago, and the first one is at around 06.30 in the morning. There are 5 buses each day from Finisterre.

I've tried both variants and I liked the one to Muxia first, then Finisterre better than vice versa.
