Walk to the Edge of the Earth—From Santiago to the Sea
While the official Camino ends at the grand Cathedral in Santiago, another, more ancient route continues west—to Finisterre, once thought to be the westernmost point in Europe and the “End of the Earth”. Long before modern pilgrims, travelers may have journeyed here in search of adventure, wisdom, or to visit a mystical school of hidden knowledge said to exist at land’s end.
Today, the path from Santiago to Finisterre and Muxía offers a quieter, more reflective extension of the pilgrimage. Some walkers have never done the classic Camino. Others are taking time to process their journey, or feel called to keep walking even after reaching Santiago. And some return years later, sensing their Camino is not quite finished.
This experience shifts as you head west—fewer pilgrims, smaller villages, and a gentler pace. With the destination now behind you, the focus turns from arrival to the simple joy of walking. It’s a space for reflection, integration, and a deeper connection with the trial. Whether it’s your first pilgrimage or the first chapter of a long-held dream, this journey from Santiago to the sea invites you to step into the mystery—and discover what waits at the edge.

This is not a typical hiking trip, although we are hiking every day. We are following an historic pilgrimage route and will be observing some of the pilgrimage traditions that have grown up along the Road over the years. The route includes a mixture of dirt roads, some paved roads, and some trail. In addition to hiking 4 to 6 hours a day, we will feast on local foods, chat with pilgrims from all over the world, and learn the lore and legends of the Road.
We will be staying in double occupancy rooms with ensuite bathrooms in a variety of accommodations, typically mid-range family-run hotels that are chosen for their hospitality or proximity to the path. Limited single supplements are available.
