On this excursion to Muxía and Fisterra, we will explore two towns of the Costa da Morte and discover the connections between the apostle Santiago and these areas.

Tour to Muxía and Fisterra

We will meet at Rúa dos Bautizados in Santiago de Compostela at the scheduled time. From there, we will board a bus to begin our excursion to Muxía and Fisterra.

Our first stop will be the lighthouse of Fisterra, constructed in the mid-19th century, located at the viewpoint of the End of the World. This site is also the supposed kilometer 0 of the Camino de Santiago.

After enjoying the views of the Costa da Morte for an hour, we will continue to the town of Fisterra, where you will have 1 hour and 15 minutes of free time to have lunch and explore. You can visit the port, the 12th-century church of Nuestra Señora de las Arenas, or admire the façade of the castle of San Carlos.

Next, we will travel to Muxía. Accompanied by a guide, we will visit the sanctuary of the Virgen de la Barca, which has significant ties to the Camino de Santiago. Here, we will discuss its history and the magical-religious significance of the large stones near the temple.

The excursion will conclude with our return to the starting point after approximately 6.5 hours.
