What you can expect

The Finisterre and Costa da Morte tour is undeniably the most popular experience for visitors to Galicia. This breathtaking coast is steeped in stories, legends, and living history, offering an unforgettable journey through one of the most mystical regions of Spain.

Much of this route is linked to the Camino de Santiago, leading to the “end of the earth”—Finisterre. For centuries, pilgrims have arrived here, mesmerised by its beauty and the powerful energy of this ancient land.

Our adventure begins with a scenic drive from Santiago towards one of the hidden gems of the Finisterre pilgrimage, Pontemaceira. This ancient Roman bridge, now medieval, is a must-see stop. Walk in the footsteps of pilgrims, marvel at the picturesque river and waterfall, and let the enchanting scenery etch itself into your memory.

Leaving Pontemaceira behind, we'll head to the Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Boat in Muxía, a sacred spot for pilgrims and Galicians alike. Here, our guide will unravel the stories of the pilgrimage, the sanctuary’s significance, the famous Prestige oil spill, and the mysterious stones with “magical” powers. After immersing yourself in these tales, we’ll continue our journey to Finisterre.

The next stop is the legendary Finisterre Lighthouse, a place of deep symbolism for pilgrims, Romans, and Celts, who once considered this site to be magical. Standing at the edge of the world, you too will feel its power as you take in panoramic views of the endless ocean, the calm waters, and the unique atmosphere that has captivated visitors for generations.

As lunchtime approaches, we’ll make our way to the town of Finisterre for a well-deserved break to savour the best of Galicia's renowned cuisine. Feel free to ask our guide for recommendations so you can enjoy the authentic flavours of the region to the fullest.

After lunch, the adventure continues with two more iconic stops. First, we’ll visit the Ézaro Waterfall, a natural wonder unique in Europe where the Xallas River cascades dramatically into the sea, creating a breathtaking sight within the Corcubión Estuary. Then, we'll explore the Hórreo of Carnota, one of Galicia’s largest and most iconic granaries, a symbol of the region’s rich agricultural traditions.

On our return journey, we’ll pass through the Ría de Muros, a scenic stretch along the Galician coast. This final leg of the tour will allow you to soak in the beauty of Galicia’s Rías, its pilgrim traditions, and its timeless cultural heritage, before arriving back in Santiago to complete a truly unforgettable day.
