3 towns on the Camiño a Fisterra-Muxía
View on the mapFor many, Fisterra is the real end of the Way: 87 kilometres beyond Santiago, the 0.000 km marker stands on the cape above the Atlantic. The fishing town with its harbour, medieval parish church and the lighthouse of 1853 lives for the sunset over the sea. Stay an extra night to see it.
Camiño a FisterraCamiño a Fisterra-Muxía+1Muxía is the quieter end of the Way, a fishing town on a headland on the Costa da Morte. At its tip stand the sanctuary of the Virxe da Barca, the rocks from the legend of the stone boat and A Ferida, the monument to the volunteers after the 2002 oil spill. Fisterra is 27.8 kilometres away.
Camiño a Fisterra-MuxíaCamiño a Muxía+1Lires sits exactly halfway between the two capes, 13.5 kilometers past Fisterra and 14.3 before Muxía, at the mouth of the Río Castro. A village of fewer than 150 people, with a beach and some of the first country houses for guests in Spain. Here you get the stamp without which the pilgrim hostel in Muxía won't take you.
