Third stage of the Camino Finisterre. After the magnificent River Xallas, which marks the start of this stage, the path becomes very pleasant. Dominated by wind turbines, it crosses expanses of heather, meadows and forests, sometimes of eucalyptus, sometimes of pine. Before reaching the Ria de Corcubión, the route takes you past the sanctuary of Our Lady of the Snows and over the O Cruceiro da Armada Pass.

The first 3 km of this stage are fairly simple but then there is a bit of a climb up to Monte Aro. Our route goes up to a viewpoint to enjoy the panoramic view, but there's no need to go all the way to the top, because 500 meters before the top there is a right turn and the begining of a steep descent along a dirt track. On the descent of Mount Aro, good views over the Xallas valley can be enjoyed, including the great Fervenza reservoir.

Departure from Dumbría (A Coruña)
You can almost smell the sea (and almost see it) but there's still over 20 km to Muxia, although the sea comes into view long before. The route alternates sections of tarmac, without much interest, with several stretches of dirt road through forests. Looking at the profile of the stage, you can see that the descent towards the coast is not exactly easygoing, rather a continuous up-and-down, with moderate unevenness.

Departure from Negreira (A Coruña)
This is an easier stage than the classic 33.6 km from Negreira to Olveiroa, through a really rural environment but with a few uphill climbs. In the first ten kilometers we cross lush forests of pine, chestnut and oak trees, then we go through a clearer patch of land. At the end, there's a small village that is friendly and worth exploring.

Departure from Muxía (A Coruña)
A beautiful route around the Ría de Camariñas, which leads you through beaches, roads and forest paths, along the coastline and rivers. The only challenge lies in its length, as there are no steep climbs to navigate.

Departure from Muxía (A Coruña)
The route is well signposted in both directions, between Muxía and Fisterra. Despite the proximity to the sea, don't expect a walk on the beach. Today's journey runs through a rural and lonely territory, with dirt roads, forests and demanding slopes. There might be walkers coming from Fisterra, so say "Hola" and maybe chat a while. Get started early and look for a lunch stop in Lires, a town located right in the middle of the day.

Departure from Santiago de Compostela (A Coruña)
Santiago de Compostela is known throughout the world. Built on the tomb of St James the Apostle, the city attracts travellers for its famous cathedral, an exceptional monument with breathtaking façades that houses a wealth of relics. But the city of Santiago is home to many other equally magnificent monuments.
Every year, more than three million visitors come to wander through the city’s neighbourhoods, whose Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque architecture make them truly unique.

Departure from Santiago de Compostela (A Coruña)
This walk can be done as an extention to any Camino de Santiago. It's the older reason people, like the Romans, walked across the top of the Iberian Peninsula, following the Milky Way to the ends of the earth (as it was known). Our recomendation is to go through Muxía rather than head straight to Fisterra (the name of the town). Also, we recommend going the extra 3 km to reach Cape Finisterre. Great scenery and an amazing climax to see the sunset on the Atlantic Ocean from the cape.

Time to leave Santiago behind and follow the sun going west. It's more or less downhill as far as Aguapesada, then there's a bit of a climb over Alto do Mar de Ovellas, where we have to go up 210 metros in about 2 km, up to Carballo. Then it's a stroll, crossing the Tambre river and into Negreira.
