Itinerary for Ferrol to Finisterre Camino Tour
Check in Ferrol
Arrival in Ferrol, starting point of the English Way.
Ferrol to Pontedeume
The first stage of this Camino is the longest, so it is possible to divide it in two and stay in Neda if this is too long off the start. We recommend a visit to the port of Ferrol before starting the route, as it is one of the most emblematic places of Galicia. On the other hand, once on the Camino make sure to stop at the Monastery of San Martiño de Neda.
Pontedeume to Betanzos
This is a coastal stretch, with very pleasant views. Before reaching Betanzos, stop at the Church of San Pantaleón de las Viñas, one of the most iconic points of the English Way.
Betanzos to Bruma-Mesón do Vento
This is a quiet stage, through rural areas. Some sections run parallel to the river. The road combines asphalted areas with forest tracks.
Bruma-Mesón do Vento to Sigüeiro
The route will take you through small rural areas, leaving behind chapels and crosses.
Sigüeiro to Santiago
The last stage is the shortest, only 12 km and will allow you to reach Santiago with enough time to enjoy the city. From Sigüeiro you can already feel the presence of the capital in the distance. Once in Santiago, do not forget to go to the Pilgrim’s Office with your Credential to request the Compostela.
Santiago to Negreira
The first stage of this trail has little difficulty. On your way to Negreira, you will walk through pine and eucalyptus forests, small villages and Roman bridges.
Negreira to Santa Mariña
You will walk around Serra de Castelo and Monte do Aro, amazing landscapes to photograph.
Santa Mariña to O Logoso
This is the most special stage. Why? Because of the sea view in the distance, for the first time!
O Logoso to Cee
The stage goes all over rural areas until Cee, one of the fishing villages of the Coast of the Death.
Cee to Finisterre
The Camino in this stage takes you along the Atlantic coast while enjoying the high cliffs that give its name to its coast, the wild beaches and the incredible views it offers. What to do when you get to Finisterre? Undoubtedly, visit the Lighthouse, where it is considered the End of the World. Enjoying the sunset with the views it offers is the greatest pleasure of all this Camino!
