Scenically beautiful Negreira is the main town of the municipality of the same name (Concello) in the province of A Coruña, in the autonomous community of Galicia. 🤙

Very beautiful bridge that still stands today - like the Roman Bridge in Trier.

If you have some days left after your arrival in Santiago and your feet feel like there is still a need for walking in them, then there is no way around doing the Camiño Fisterra y Muxia. The Walk leads through a lot of great nature and the Infrastructure is as good as at any other way. The Lighthouse in Finisterre alone, with the Zero Kilometre Stone is worth the almost hundred extra Kilometers, the real finish... The way is never overcrowded and the pilgrims you'll meet are usually a bit different than most of the people you've met on the way to Santiago. Don't miss your End of the World Party at the Faro Fisterra at sundown, some hundreds meters above the ocean! Feel free to also walk to or just visit Muxia, it's also worth it. Getting back to Santiago is no problem at all, several buses are scheduled every day from Finisterre or Muxia. For further information just ask, especially about accomodations.

The Camiño Fisterra y Muxia was and is certainly not overcrowded, but it is incorrect to say that only a few people walk it. Especially in 2022 (but also since then), i.e. in the "Covid Camino" year, there were a surprising number of Peregrinas & Peregrinos on the way between Santiago and Finisterre and the traditional evening closing celebrations at sunset at the lighthouse were terrific, very international and full of wine; finally feeling free again was the motto. I did two ;). The infrastructure is in no way inferior to the other paths and the nature around it is even more so.

Hitting the Main Road when you arrive from the signed Camino, there will be a little Shag across the Street, just some fifty or so meters away. The nice lady there (only sometimes it's a guy) will give you a little City Map. On this map (likely she will show you) you'll find an alternative Walk leading you through a park, always next to the river and after that through the woods before you hit the official way again. There are always signs marking the way, just keep your eyes open. If you don't take the map, just make a right into the park after the three gates and before(!) crossing the bridge. It's totally worth it, you will avoid lots of pavement and noisy traffic and get hours of a nature experience including a little waterfall!
