Quick overview: This day trip lets you set off from Santiago and discover some of the most striking scenery along the Galician coast in a single day: Finisterre, Muxía, Ézaro Waterfall, Muros, Carnota and places associated with the symbolic end of the Camino.
Why take this day trip from Santiago
After visiting Santiago or finishing the Camino, many people want to continue towards the Atlantic. Finisterre and Costa da Morte have a strong symbolic significance: cliffs, lighthouses, sanctuaries, seafaring legends and landscapes associated with the ancient “end of the world”.
Taking an organised day trip means you don't have to rely on having your own car and helps you make the most of the day if you're short on time.

Tips for enjoying Costa da Morte
