The way to Finisterre & Muxía will take you to the Celtic and Roman traditions of Galicia region. We will be able to discover the Costa da Morte (the Coast of Death in English), one of the most unspoiled regions of Spain, very popular because of its cliffs. This 115-kilometer (71.46 mile) walk takes in the wonders of Galicia’s magnificent coastline. Leaving the hustle & bustle of the Santiago de Compostela, the route passes through rural landscapes of high plateaus, forested tracks, country villages & the reward of stunning coastal trails & headlands where the pace slows to that of centuries of seafaring life.
We will be a small group, incorporating yoga and meditation into our trip.
Dating back as far as the 9th Century, pilgrims have been walking to both Muxía & Finisterre as the final stretch of the itinerary traced by the Milky Way to the westernmost explored part of continental Europe; to Finisterre – the ‘end of the world’, where the cliffs plunge steeply to the sea & the sun disappears each evening. Once in Muxía, we will get your Muxiana (Pilgrim Certificate) and taste some delicious seafood! Then onwards, via the coast, to Finisterre, where you can collect your Fisterrana, a certificate of completion of the pilgrimage to ‘Finis Terrae’.
