If you only have time to do one route, do this one. The beauty of the landscapes, the stories, myths and legends make for an unforgettable experience.
The first stop on this tour to Finisterre is in Muros, a beautiful fishing village. We will take a walk to admire its historical centre and also the incomparable views of the estuary.
A little further on we will come across the Ézaro waterfall, the only waterfall in Europe that flows into the sea, a real spectacle!
The next stop is Cape Fisterra (Finisterre). This was the end of the world for the Romans and Greeks; for the Celts, it was the border between the world of the living and the dead. We will visit the kilometre 0 of the Way of St. James and the beautiful lighthouse of Finisterre, while we enjoy a breathtaking view over the coast of Carnota and the estuary of Corcubión.
Very close to the lighthouse is the village of Fisterra, where we will have free time for lunch and a stroll. This charismatic fishing village offers many postcard pictures that you will want to photograph.
Our trip to Finisterre continues through Muxía. We will visit the Sanctuary of A Barca, a setting of breathtaking and very special beauty, difficult to describe. You’ll see the sea crashing on the rocks and you’ll discover some of the many legends and rites linked to this area.
The finishing touch to this special day is a visit to Ponte Maceira, a charming little village located 10 minutes from Santiago. Some people even consider it the most beautiful village in Galicia, which is saying something! The river Tambre and its 14th century bridge are the protagonists, and we will also visit the medieval mills.
After this visit, we return to Santiago to finish our tour to Finisterre.
