This year I walked from Tui to Santiago and it was an amazing experience and already planning for next year.

I would like to ask regarding walking from Muxia to Santiago (which is in reverse). I read that this is getting popular but was very concerned regarding if the route is well marked or not.

Any advice that anyone could give me is appreciated

I had to wander a bit looking for waymarks, and one time I had to wait a half-hour until a pilgrim walking the normal direction came by to indicate the turn. The marks are there, but you must be alert!

Not in answer to what was asked but be careful folks when walking between Muxia and Finisterre as there are arrows pointing both ways. If you stop for a break note which way you were headed or else you may get up and note an arrow pointing you back to where you came from and follow that.

Didn't happen to me there but something similar caught me walking a mile uphill before recognizing a view.

Yes, the way to/from Finisterre and Muxia are marked for travel in both directions, but the way from Muxia to Santiago is not! However, I have seen many pilgrims do it in reverse, mostly from Finisterre. That may be easier, with more pilgrims to help guide you, than the direction from Muxia to Santiago. Once you reach the bifurcation in Hospital, from either Finisterre OR Muxia, there will be many pilgrims to help!
