Route to the famous End of the Camino de Santiago, home to Kilometer 0. A place of pilgrimage for the ancient Celts and Romans, it also has a long history of shipwrecks. This is a land of legends, inhabited in the past by the magical Celtic people, who left behind countless stories shrouded in mystery.

Our first stop will be Muxía, where a symbolic sanctuary stands by the sea, making it a must-visit destination for pilgrims.

After this visit, we will arrive at Finisterre (Fisterra), once considered the end of the world, where we can admire the breathtaking views offered by this legendary location. Here, you will have 2 hours of free time to enjoy lunch on your own.

Our next stop will be the Ézaro Waterfall, whose most remarkable feature is that it is the only river in Europe that flows directly into the sea in the form of a waterfall. Finally, we will visit the Carnota Hórreo, one of the longest traditional granaries in the world. This type of construction is characteristic of northwestern Spain. We will then return along the coast, enjoying the beautiful Galician estuaries, particularly the Muros, Noia, and Corcubión estuaries.

    This was one of the highlights of my trip to Galicia. The scenery along the coast is absolutely breathtaking, and the stops were perfectly chosen. Our guide spoke excellent English and shared fascinating stories about local traditions and shipwreck history. The day was well balanced between guided explanations and free time. I would definitely book it again.

    A very enjoyable and well-paced day trip. The coastal views were stunning and the atmosphere at Finisterre lighthouse was unforgettable. The guide provided good historical context and local legends, which made the experience richer. Great value for money overall.

    Hice el tour a Finisterre y Costa da Morte con mi pareja después de terminar el Camino y fue el broche perfecto al viaje. La organización fue puntual y el transporte muy cómodo. Me encantaron las paradas en la cascada de Ézaro y en el faro de Fisterra, donde las vistas son simplemente impresionantes. El guía explicó la historia y las leyendas de la zona de forma muy amena. Sin duda, una excursión totalmente recomendable si estás en Santiago.

    Tour molto ben organizzato e ricco di paesaggi spettacolari. Ho apprezzato particolarmente la visita a Muxía e le spiegazioni sulla Costa da Morte. La guida era preparata e disponibile a rispondere a tutte le domande. Forse avrei preferito un po’ più di tempo libero in ogni tappa, ma nel complesso è stata un’esperienza davvero positiva.
