Hi Karanartravel
I walked from Santiago to Fisterra in belatedly April 08. It 'really' takes 3 days and I am non fit and could never 'flop it'' (respect -404!) I call back its just shy of xc km.
The 3rd day, especially the section between Infirmary and Cee, is pure walking with no distractions of traffic or chief roads so you tin get into a peachy sometime rhythm and 'gather your thoughts' on your journey.
I found descent into Cee to be bit of a knee breaker- but don't worry the restorative ability of a swim off 1 of those lovely beaches is truly miraculous!
Its such a beautiful part of Camino, the people warm and welcoming, bask and enjoy.
Bonne Route

Funny thing this. When I walked in 1999 only a very few people wanted to continue to Finisterre. Now it seems nearly obligatory. Perhaps we are experiencing a shift in consciousness after these 10 intervening years where Santiago de Compostela is only another waystage upon the jouney on the Camino de las Estrellas. Certainly I met a man in Santiago (Pedro and his dog, and thank you for the necklace) who would endorse this. He was on his 7th camino and had no real desire to stay for long in Compostela. "I travel the Route of the Stars" he told me.
Are we returning to our pagan roots (routes?)?

I walked from Finisterra to Muxia about four years agone and it took a day. Not much was really on the coast
The route was not well signed and I had to retrace my steps a few times.
At i bespeak you take to cantankerous a significant little river/or large stream( virtually 5m wide). At that place are well constructed stepping stones consisting of physical pillars spaced across the stream with flat tops. Nevertheless after rain the stream rises and y'all may discover that the "stepping stones" are underwater. They are notwithstanding crossable but I found my walking pole essential
Muxia is a pleasant litle town with a pilgrim office whre you can obtain a very attractive document to add to the one you got in Santiago and Fisterra.
There is accomodation in the sports stadium below the seating. It is fairly bones but has showers and mats on the floor.
There is a regular bus dorsum to santiago from Muxia

There has been a new albergue in Muxia for about 2 years. Highly recommended.

Make new refugio 2009 at Muxia. Really posh.
iii days to Finisterre, though there is an albergue at Cee, at which I have never stayed, which would go far 4.
Give yourself time to go to Muxia, an extra days walking.
78km from Santiago to Finisterre co-ordinate to several books I have.

Oh yeah.
First walked to Finisterre in 2004. Not crowded. Had a bunk.
2005 & 2006 numbers up. Slept on the floor.
2009 would have non got in the municipal refugio at Negreir, equally they no longer allow people slumber on the floor, except that my medical condition meant I could not be turned away.
The warden ordered a sixty+ twelvemonth old Dutch lady pilgrim to surrender her bottom bunk and sleep on mats on the flooring.
I explained that my wife, who is also a pensioner, would go mad if I took the bunk and said I would sleep on the mats. The warden flare-up into tears and insisted on giving me a hug.
My halo shone brightly that night.

To me this """was"""the all-time part of the Camino Francis.
If only most immune a few extra days instead of the xxx-33 day rush.
Nosotros walked Finasterre in 06 and will again this year afterward Norte.
The peace, fellowship of the few and the friendship/welcome along the way makes me wish the states aussies knew nigh Francis a many decades ago.
I think vividly a young english doctor who was with us for the final 200km on the Francis.
When she arrived at Santiago no credentials were sought "" I volition get that in Finasterre " she said
She slept in a school hall just after Negreira subsequently a farmer gave her the keys.
It was late at night.
*** this is a beautiful way ****
We also found Le Puy to SJPDP wonderful and similar in relation to numbers /assistance.
Peace, honey and health to all,

If you DO go the chance, continue on to Muxia (or vice versa) information technology's a lovely piffling working port a bit similar Finisterre may have been 15 years ago or so, though quite spruced up with money from the Prestige disaster which devasted the fishing industry for miles along the coast. The albergue there is new and the people are very pilgrim friendly, perhaps because, so far, there are not very many who make it here. You can, of course, choose either or, but it is lovely to run into both, and now there is the bridge over the river Castro it is risk complimentary (although the confused lady at the business firm said to me: "We congenital the bridge for the pilgrims, only the pilgrims they don't apply it"). I guess we are purists and like the claiming (and maybe symbolism) of our stepping stones. I think it'll be quite a different story in Winter.
http://www.pilgrimagetoheresy.blogspot.com will be post-obit the pilgrim trails around Muxia and Finisterre within the next two weeks if y'all are interested.

I would allow 3 days to Fistera. If you lot have 4 days, I would practice iii days to Muxia and then a day to Fisterra. Take your credencial and get it stamped. In Muxia you can go a certificate and you tin become ane as well in Fisterra (quite a pretty 1 with the setting dominicus). Muxia has a overnice albegue and the chapel on the shore is unforgetable. There used to be a pretty hairy river crossing between Muxia and Fisterra but there is now a span.

Have only finished and went via Muxia.
Nosotros took 4 days to Muxia as nosotros stayed in Dumbria.
This new albergue is magnificent as was built by the guy who owns Zara.
No need to hurry there as it opens at 3pm.
They first await after pilgrims conduct their packs.
Then ones with horses , and then those with bikes.
They with Muxia are very strict on this method/order of accommodation.
Muxia is a dandy place and is the heart of the Spanish people, more then than Finisterre.
We took 2 days to walk from Muxia to Finisterre considering we were only enjoying the peace.
Adaptation one-half way and very well marked.
In Negreira find the "Regal Restr./Cafe" for a magnificent meal. The room is out the back and it will exist the best 10 euro you spend.
Don't rush like all the others to this first stop every bit the albergue is early filled and in our opinion muddied.
Nosotros take given it 2 goes , no more.
A wonderful way, enjoy.

I tin too confirm that the Xunta albergues in Muxía and Dumbría are great! Brand sure you get a stamp in Lires so the hospitalero at Muxía knows y'all walked and didn't have the bus.
In Dumbría's massive building, nosotros were the just pilgrims until some Spanish cyclists arrived in the evening. My husband and I were the merely ones in our room, so we put 2 mattresses together on the flooring. It is next to the municipal pool, which is very nice and has internet stations. Lovely kitchen, simply of course no pots and pans (it is Galicia afterall) only luckily nosotros brought our ain.
The albergue in Muxía did fill up up when we were at that place in July, but at that place are some overnice and not too expensive private accommodations right on the embankment that were just about €30 for a double.

Really quite practice-able in 3 days from Santiago.
Santiago -Negreira
Negreira - Oliveroa
Oliveroa - Finiterre
- #35
Very do-able in 3 days merely non the all-time practice.
It is a beautiful way and now Muxia should be included . It has a very , very , expert alberque there.
It was always the finishing bespeak to the local spanish.
Take your time , enjoy the company of the few that continue and savour the peace.

Hi
Merely back from St Jean - Santiago - Finisterre - Muxia - Finisterre ( walking ) and then bussed from Finisterre to Santiago for 2 days R+R. How long really depends on how your fitness is and what your pace is similar.
Leaving Santiago nigh 8 am I got comfortably to the private albergue in Vilacerio by 4 pm ( about 35 kms ) and so day 2 a new individual albergue ( Albergue Moreira ) in Cee ( highly recommended, ix ability points in x bed dormitory, well equipped kitchen and the owner turns on a dehumidifier in the boot/wet dress area on wet days to help dry items out ) about 39 kms then solar day iii was an easy 13 kms into Finisterre which allow me book into the municipal at 1 pm, brand my bed, function empty my haversack before heading up to the lighthouse and back via Monte Facho trails by 4, lie down for a couple of hours earlier dinner and so back to the lighthouse to watch a perfect sunset.
Finisterre to Muxia was 1 days walking with lunch in Lires, do take breakfast in Finisterre before setting out as options for eating on route are limited to Lires or eating alfresco on this day. About 29 kms walking, leaving Finisterre at 7.45 saw me reach the municipal in Muxia about 2.45. If tired/ a footling unfit/ time to spare, you could break the Finisterre/ Muxia into 2 days and stay ion Lires, no albergues but 3 Casa Rurales that I spotted.
Regards
Seamus

Howdy @joannvds - a six day itinerary to just Fisterra / lighthouse would be very leisurely and would require at least one very brusque day. I have a 5-day itinerary that you can employ as a starting indicate, though:
From Santiago de Compostela
to Ventosa (La Coruña) (Santiago - Ventosa) (9.8 km / 6.1 mi)
to Negreira (Ventosa - Negreira) (10.9 km / 6.viii mi)
Phase 01 (20.7 km / 12.9 mi)
to Vilaserío (Negreira - Vilaserio) (13.1 km / 8.i mi)
to Santa Mariña (Vilaserio - Santa Mariña) (7.nine km / iv.9 mi)
Stage 02 (21.0 km / 13.ane mi)
to Olveiroa (Santa Mariña - Olveiroa) (12.9 km / 8.0 mi)
Stage 03 (12.9 km / eight.0 mi)
to Cee (Olveiroa - Cee) (18.9 km / 11.8 mi)
Stage 04 (18.9 km / eleven.eight mi)
to Sardiñeiro (Cee - Sardiñeiro) (6.ane km / iii.8 mi)
to Fisterra (Sardiñeiro - Fisterra) (6.0 km / 3.7 mi)
to Finisterre Lighthouse (Fisterra - Land's End) (3.4 km / 2.i mi)
Stage 05 (15.five km / ix.6 mi)
Total: 89.ane km / 55.three mi
Hope that helps. Good luck with your planning.
