The itinerary of the day trip to Finisterre and the Costa da Morte from Santiago de Compostela is packed with landscapes that will stay with you.

Santiago de Compostela (departure)

The bus journey starts at the time you choose from the departure options available at the agreed meeting point.

Pontemaceira

The tour of Finisterre and the Costa da Morte from Santiago de Compostela begins with a visit to the wonderful village of Pontemaceira, where pilgrims pass day after day, struck by its stone charm and its picture-perfect natural setting. Its river, its small waterfall and its Gothic-origin bridge take us back in time.

Muxía

After enjoying Pontemaceira, it is the turn of Muxía. There are many reasons why we love visiting this beautiful area, from the mysticism of the Sanctuary of the Virxe da Barca to the visual magic of Cape Touriñán, the westernmost point of the province of A Coruña.

Finisterre

Back on the bus in search of landscapes we are sure you will never forget. Fisterra has something unforgettable: a beautiful fishing town with excellent local produce and, above all, views that leave their mark. Its horizon, known as Finis Terrae in the ancient world, will be one of those images you cannot get out of your head. The unmistakable Fisterra lighthouse, the closest to America, was built in 1853 and has witnessed shipwrecks and stories you should hear.

Ézaro waterfall

The tour of Finisterre and the Costa da Morte from Santiago de Compostela heads for the incredible Ézaro waterfall. It came to the attention of tourists thanks to the Vuelta a España cycling race, and you will be amazed by its huge drop of water from the River Xallas.

Granary of Carnota

What this day trip offers is that the history and secrets our guides tell you are complemented by places that help you understand all of Galicia’s traditions. The granary (hórreo) of Carnota will help you understand why this unusual but functional building exists. This giant granary, dating from the 18th century, is one of the main examples of the religious power of its time.

Muros

We get back on the bus for the last stop of this lovely day trip to Finisterre and the Costa da Morte from Santiago de Compostela, the beautiful fishing village of Muros, where tourists pass every day to enjoy its food. You can watch the fish being unloaded or visit one of the stalls. Without a doubt, a wonderful place to end a day trip you will not forget.

Return to Santiago de Compostela

We board the bus again to end our route and head back to the Galician capital. If you are still unsure about taking the day trip to Finisterre and the Costa da Morte from Santiago de Compostela and need more detail, we will be happy to help.
