What you can expect
At the scheduled time, we will depart from Plaza de Galicia, where our guides, will be waiting for you.
We start the journey by heading in bus for approximately 45 minutes, we will arrive in Muros, a charming fishing village. Here, you will have time to stroll through its picturesque streets and enjoy a coffee at one of the local cafés.
Our next destination is the Ézaro waterfall, where the Xallas River creates a spectacular sight by cascading directly into the ocean. This natural wonder is unique, as it is the only river in Europe that falls directly into the sea, offering a breathtaking view.
We will then continue our journey along the stunning Costa da Morte, or “Coast of Death,” named for its treacherous waters. Our route will take us to Finisterre, a town rich in history and culture. In Finisterre, you will have about two hours of free time to enjoy a leisurely lunch. This is a perfect opportunity to savour fresh seafood and other delicacies from the Atlantic Ocean.
After lunch, we will visit the renowned Finisterre lighthouse. Perched on the edge of the continent, this lighthouse has guided countless ships through the perilous waters. Here, we will listen to captivating stories and legends about the numerous shipwrecks that have occurred along these shores. The Romans once believed this point marked “the end of the known world,” adding a mystical allure to the site.
Next, we will make our way to the coastal town of Muxía. Located by the Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Boat, Muxía is steeped in history and legends, particularly related to the Camino de Santiago. During our visit, we will learn about the fascinating stories associated with this pilgrimage route. We will also discover the stones of d'Abalar and Dos Cadrís, which are surrounded by intriguing myths and legends.
Our final stop will be back in Santiago, where our excursion will conclude. This journey will take us through some of the most beautiful and historically rich areas of Galicia, providing an unforgettable experience filled with natural wonders, cultural insights, and captivating stories.
