Walking from Santiago to Muxia to Finisterre

[Travel Diva]

Hello, I don't see any maps from Santiago to Muxia, I see mostly from Santiago to Finisterre.

Is there a detail map to go from Santiago to Muxia, then Finisterre from Muxia.

thanks very much.

Unfortunately it goes from Olveiroa to Finisterra but I want to go Olveiroa to Muxia, then walk from Muxia to Finisterre.

Hi Travel Diva, Brierleys guide will show the Camino to Hospital, day three, where the route splits, to the left Finisterra, to the right Muxia. The way is well marked to Finisterra so I would expect the path to muxia would be well marked as well.

Travel Diva,

Scan these earlier threads in this Forum topic to see mixed opinions on which way to go first: --
beware of the Fisterra- Muxia route;
walking from Santiago to Muxia;
from Santiago to Finisterre.

The choice is yours!

When you are in Santiago you can obtain free of charge the map route with description from the Galicia tourist board on Rua Villar near pilgrim office

In addition to the map noted by Krazeekuban in Santiago the Galicia Tourist Office at 130 rua do Vilar near the cathedral has a good free list of ALL services on the caminos to Finisterre and Muxia. This includes food shops, pilgrim albergues, tourist lodgings, restaurants, bars, banks, buses, etc. Their multilingual staff is also most helpful.

Last year I walked from Santiago to Muxia and back to Finisterre . The way marking were very good going to Muxia , I had no problem. Going from Muxia back to Finisterre was a little more confusing. The route has both sets off markings, one going to Muxia from Finisterre and another set going from Muxia to Finisterre .. There were also some marking for some alternated detours if one wished to visit other sights along the way and some markings for cyclists.

Hi Falcon

Can you tell me if you can get a compestella if you start at Finestre and walk to Santiago thanks in anticipation

No. The distance is too short. Fisterra to Muxia to Santiago qualifies. Reverse markings are tricky.

 

[cathal Ferris]

Thanks Falcon so if the friends go from Fisterra to Muxia and unto Santiago that qualifies do they still require two stamps at each stop over on thier credential passport

Yes. Two a day in the last 100km for all the caminos.

Sorry to be a pest do you have any recommendations for Hotels on this part of the camino. They are going for a week in September taking 2days in Santiago on arrival (1day) and on return from walk(1day) the other four nights are going to be booked into hotels age of friends male age 60 and two daughters in there 30 ishs any suggestions would be great or if you have any experience on this part of the walk. They intend to walk it in trainers and transport luggage on a daily basis via hotel to hotel so they wont be loaded with weight.

I stay pretty low on the food chain, so do not know about hotels on this route. I did pass a very nice casa rural about 3/4 of the way from Cee to Muxia walking the road. Here are the albergues:

On the way to Nageira the restaurante Ponte Maceira by the famous bridge has a delicious and affordable menu de dia plus a wonderful view of the falls.

In Olveiroa the Pension As Pias is a successful renovation of stone buildings. Located near the municipal albergue where I always stop the pension has VERY good food and most pleasant dining rooms including one snug space with a wide hearth. All was wonderfully cozy late last December.

Buen Camino,
