Itinerary
The fishing village of Camariñas is well known for its fine craft of lace making. There, we can visit the small port as far as we drive up to Cape Vilan. It is home to the first electric lighthouse, and the most important one on the Death Coast of Galicia. Many stories and legends of sunken ships abound in this area. We'll make a brief stop for photos and to admire the beautiful landscape. If it's open, we can also visit the interior.
We leave Camariñas behind and continue on to Muxía, a highly visited fishing village by thousands of pilgrims heading towards Finisterre. Muxía boasts a beautiful chapel perched atop cliffs by the sea. From there, we can also see in the distance the first lighthouse of Cape Vilan. We'll also visit the beautiful waves and the new luxury PARADOR Costa da Morte (Hotel), where you can enjoy a coffee or a glass of wine and admire the landscape from there. The beach of Lourido is directly below the hotel.
Our destination, Finisterre. First, a short stroll by the harbor, followed by a delicious and typical meal at a very good restaurant. Galicia is renowned for having the best seafood in the world, as well as excellent fresh fish from the area. Our white wine, ALBARIÑO, will surely accompany your meal well. After lunch, we'll continue on to Cape Finisterre, the end of the world.
Cape Finisterre is the final stretch that pilgrims from all over the world walk from Santiago de Compostela to reach. The Km 0 marker is right in front of the lighthouse. Here too, there are many stories and legends. There's a stunning panoramic view from the cliffs beneath the lighthouse to the horizon. Today, there's also a small hotel with only 5 rooms, offering incredible views of the sunset and sunrise. Up here, you can buy souvenirs, take photos, go for a walk, have coffee, or do anything else after lunch.
Ézaro, waterfall of the Xallas River in the village of the same name. Here, you absolutely must stop. The waterfall is right by the sea and is the only one of its kind in Northwestern Europe. Take a short walk to the base of the waterfall.

About Santiago de Compostela
Santiago de Compostela, in Galicia, is the end point of the Camino pilgrimage routes, an old granite city dominated by its great cathedral.
Santiago de Compostela grew around the tomb of St James the Apostle, said to have been found in the ninth century, and pilgrims have walked here along the Camino de Santiago for a thousand years. The cathedral dominates the Praza do Obradoiro with a baroque façade facing the square; inside, the Romanesque Portico of Glory has carved figures, and a giant incense burner, the botafumeiro, swings on special occasions. The old town is a UNESCO site.
Top-ranked sights in Santiago de Compostela: Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela (Catedral de Santiago de Compostela), Praza das Praterías (Plaza de Platerías), Monastery of San Martiño Pinario (Mosteiro de San Martiño Pinario).
