This Finisterre Way Tour is an epilogue of the Jacobean route. It leaves directly from Santiago in the direction of Finisterre, specifically to Cabo Fisterra. This point was long considered the end of the world.

Some pilgrims choose to do the section in reverse. The signage throughout the tour is good. More and more people want to live this experience and it is gaining popularity, so the City Council of Fisterra has created the “Fisterrana”, which is obtained by showing the duly stamped credential. In any case, please do not forget that this certificate is not official.
