Camiño dos Faros – The Lighthouse Way spans approximately 200 kilometers, connecting Malpica to Finisterre, and showcases the prominent role of the sea in ancient pilgrimages. The Camino dos Faros offers breathtaking views of lighthouses and monuments along the Costa da Morte.
Comprising eight stages, the allure of the surroundings often compels hikers to pause and savor the scenic paradise. The emphasis is not on reaching the destination swiftly but on relishing the entire experience, making a leisurely pace advisable.
The Camino dos Faros unfolds along the coastal stretch, featuring numerous beaches that run alongside steep cliffs. The Camiño dos Faros is also known as The Lighthouse Way, and the trail traverses virgin beaches and a rugged coastline, offering an unforgettable adventure. Notably, the route passes through areas where the world's finest "percebes" are harvested, a delicacy cultivated by the relentless waves crashing against the rocks. Stops include O Roncudo, where "percebeiros" risk their lives for this Galician gastronomic treasure.
Along your Camino, you will explore historically significant sites such as the English cemetery in Camariñas and the enigmatic "pedra de abalar" at the Santuario da Virxe da Barca. Nature enthusiasts can appreciate not only the beaches, dunes, cliffs, and forests but also estuaries teeming with native birdlife.
The ultimate destination, Cape Fisterra, long considered the end of the world and reached by Décimo Junio Bruto in the 16th century, holds a magical allure. This is where the Celts paid homage to the sun, offering a splendid view of the Atlantic and the rugged Galician coast. Cape Fisterra is also regarded as the conclusive point of the Camino de Santiago.
While Cape Fisterra may not be the literal end of the world, it serves as an unparalleled destination for a nine-day hike through the natural paradise of the Costa da Morte, the mythical Coast of Death.

Arrival in Malpica on your own, accommodation in Malpica.
The first stage starts at the lighthouse in the port of Malpica and leads through this beautiful fishing village. Pass pristine beaches and enjoy the wonderful view. Continue hiking towards Seiruga. After a few ascents and descents, reach the lighthouse of Punta Nariga. End of the stage and transfer to Malpica.
Transfer from Malpica to Niñons. The second stage takes you through an infinitely diverse landscape from Niñóns to Ponteceso. The first, lonely bays lead you to the cliffs of Cabo Roncudo and Corme with their prehistoric cave paintings. After the climb, relax a little on the Valarés beach until you continue towards Ponteceso.
This stage begins at the mouth of the Anllóns River. Today you will see some fascinating constructions of our ancestors, the Borneiro Castro and the Dombate Dolmen, before you reach the Monte Castelo. Via the mouth of the Anllón, reach Laxe from Punta Cabalo, where you cross the beach and end today's stage.
This is the shortest and easiest stage. After visiting Monte da Insua and the Laxe lighthouse, go to Soesto, where you can admire the magnificent beach. Continue walking towards "Praia de Traba" with its beautiful lagoon. The last part of this stage takes you over a spectacular route from Felsen to Camelle and then to Arou. Transfer from Arou to Camariñas.
Transfer from Camariñas to Arou. Walk through the heart of the Camiño dos Faros and the Costa da Morte. You can stop at many places along the coast to enjoy the unique landscape. Passing the English cemetery and the Cape Vilán lighthouse, reach the port of Camariñas.
This is the longest stage of the Camiño dos Faros. However, it is a very flat stretch. You will cross the Camarinas estuary, again enjoying beautiful landscapes and cities. As soon as you reach "Río Grande" and the incomparable "Praia do Lago", you are very close to Muxía.
Today hike from Muxía to Cape Touriñán on a rather complicated stage to the beach of Moreira. From there, the path smooths to the beach of Cabo Touriñan and Nemiña. Transfer to Lires.
Transfer from Lires to Nemiña. On this stage from Nemiña to Fisterra you cannot miss the incredibly impressive cliffs and beaches. It is a difficult stage, but the beauty of the landscape and the majestic Cap Fisterra reward you for the effort.
Check out and end of our services.
