Overview

The Camino from Santiago de Compostela to Finisterre is a beautiful continuation of the Camino, taking you beyond Santiago and west towards the Atlantic Ocean. This walk is around 90 km,  through rolling Galician countryside, quiet forests, tiny villages and, eventually, spectacular coastal scenery.

Unlike the Camino that leads to Santiago, this route feels like a journey of reflection. With each day, the busy streets of Santiago fade further behind you and the landscape becomes quieter and more remote. One of the most memorable moments comes when you catch your first glimpse of the Atlantic, knowing that the “end of the world” is getting close.

The final walk into Fisterra, along the beautiful Langosteira Beach, is particularly special. From the town, many pilgrims continue the last few kilometres to Cape Finisterre and its lighthouse, where the Camino ends high above the Atlantic.

Standing there watching the ocean stretch endlessly towards the horizon gives you time to reflect—not just on the kilometres you’ve walked, but on the experiences, friendships and memories collected along the way. Santiago may mark the end of one Camino, but Finisterre feels like the place where you finally stop, look back, and let the journey sink in.

Difficulty: ~ Moderate with one steeper descent
Ascent: ~ 220m
Descent: ~ 460m

STAGE OVERVIEW
The walk from Olveiroa to Cee is a beautiful stage of the Camino Finisterre.

The route begins through peaceful rural countryside before gradually climbing toward Hospital, where the Camino splits for Finisterre and Muxía. From here, the landscape becomes more open and dramatic, and one of the highlights is catching your first glimpse of the Atlantic Ocean in the distance. The final section is largely downhill, with wonderful coastal views as you descend toward Cee. It’s a rewarding and relatively manageable day after the longer walk from Negreira.

Then, check in at Oca Insua Costa da Morte, ideal for families, this family-friendly hotel lies in Cee, about half a mile from the beach.

Day 4:

Cee - Finisterre

Difficulty~ Moderate
Ascent~ 405m
Descent~ 298m

The walk from Cee to Finisterre (Fisterra) is a beautiful and emotional final stage of the Camino.

Check out from Oca Insua Costa da Morte. Leaving Cee, the path follows the coast through Corcubión, with the Atlantic increasingly becoming your companion. After a few gentle climbs and descents, you reach the beautiful Langosteira Beach, where many pilgrims choose to take off their shoes and walk the final stretch along the sand.

Arriving in Fisterra brings a real sense of achievement, but the journey feels truly complete after walking the final 3 km to Cape Finisterre and its lighthouse. Standing at what was once considered the “end of the world,” looking out across the endless Atlantic, is a special moment—a chance to reflect on the kilometres walked, the people met along the way, and everything the Camino has meant to you.

The Aus Camino of March 2026, was my first Camino and can say that it was truly an amazing experience .
The whole trek was exceptionally well-organised — every detail was clearly planned and executed. The accommodation was comfortable, clean, and perfectly suited to the locations we visited. Meals were delicious and plentiful.

The trek covered some truly breathtaking places, each made even more special by our amazing tour leaders, Deb and Mike. They were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and empathetic, always ready to answer questions and ensure everyone felt supported and included. Their enthusiasm and care really stood out and made the trek not just enjoyable, but memorable.

I’d recommend this trek to anyone looking for a professionally run, engaging, and heartwarming adventure.

I participated in the October 20 Aussie Camino. The actual walking was challenging as we traversed a variety of different terrains such as on rocky paths, the beach, forests, flat and VERY hilly areas (“undulations” according to Mike!) and sometimes on the road. Accommodation styles varied from Spartan to semi-luxurious. It was a delight to finally arrive in historic Penola that is so significant in the Mary MacKillop story. Deb and Mike, our leaders, were outstanding in their attention to every detail of the journey, the needs of the participants and their knowledge of the area. It was a memorable experience shared with an interesting group of fellow participants. Patricia, East Melbourne

This was my first Camino and I absolutely loved it. Our leader Jonathan and driver and guide Nick were both so helpful, kind and professional. We had briefings before each daily walk which were very helpful. I improved so much throughout the walk due to their support and kindness. The rest of the group were also wonderful and we shared stories and laughs and I really achieved more on my Camino than I thought possible.
The scenery was breathtaking and I especially liked the way we were all so well prepared prior to take off with the emails and instructions from Deb. It was my first but certainly won’t be my last Camino. I am inspired to train more and be better prepared and stronger for the next one.
Loved the companionship; getting to know everyone and the food and stretching myself to achieve my goal in a supportive and inspiring atmosphere.

In July this year, I completed the 16-day UK Coast to Coast hike (Wainwright Way) with Getaway Trekking.  It was a fabulous trip, with a perfect sized group of 15, expertly led by Getaway owners, Deb & Mike.  The hike takes you through beautiful countryside, 3 National Parks with accommodation pre-arranged at quaint little English hotels and inns.  Highly recommend for anyone who likes a very well organized and adventurous hiking trip.

I recently completed the Kokoda Trek with Getaway Trekking, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our guide, Laurie, was incredible—his leadership was inspirational, and he provided an authentic and deep understanding of Kokoda’s history. The communication from Getaway Trekking was outstanding. Deb, the owner, was always responsive and went above and beyond to answer all our questions. The whole experience was fantastic, and I highly recommend anyone considering the Kokoda trek to choose Getaway Trekking.

I have recently returned from the Aussie Camino Walk, a 9-day package including 7 days of hiking from Portland, Vic to Penola, SA through Getaway Trekking & Adventures.
I absolutely loved it! It was my first hike, and I loved trekking through such a diversity of landscapes including beach, cliff-top tracks, farmland, forest, old railway line, and country roads. The coastal views of the ocean with pods of seals frolicking on and off rocks was magical. Seeing Australian fauna such as mobs of Wallabies, Echidna, Koalas, Rosellas and native Aussie flora up close was a real highlight for me. I also enjoyed that it was a pilgrim walk following the life of Australia’s first saint Mary McKillop. The small group of 10 people (couples, singles) made it easy to connect and to have meaningful, reflective conversations as well as having plenty of belly laughs.
The ethos of the company was supportive and inclusive. From the first briefing with our gentle knowledgeable guide, Jonathon, and organized lovely driver, Deb (also company owner), it was clear that the walk wasn’t a competition of the fastest or fittest. In saying that, pre training walking is a must to get the most out of the experience.
A support bus was available if anyone was struggling on a particular day. Whether you are looking for a diverse hiking experience or for a spiritual journey or a combination of the two this is the hike to choose
