The Camino Finisterre is a 4- to 5-day walk from Santiago de Compostela to Fisterra, the "End of the World".

This is the only Camino that starts in Santiago de Compostela. The rest terminate there.

See preparation for the French Way. It will be the same.

The Camino Finisterre is generally safe, with a well-marked trail and welcoming locals. However, pilgrims should take basic precautions:

• Weather: Galicia is known for sudden rain and fog. Always check forecasts and carry a rain jacket.
• Footing: Some paths can be slippery, especially on stone or gravel in wet conditions. Use sturdy footwear and trekking poles if needed.
• Sun: Even in cloudy weather, sun exposure can be strong. Bring sunscreen and a hat.
• Solo pilgrims: While rare, theft can occur. Keep valuables close and avoid isolated sections late in the day.
• Traffic: Be alert on road sections near towns, especially where the trail briefly shares space with cars.

Emergency number in Spain: ☏ 112.

• You can continue to hike along the French Way.
