A walking itinerary along Galicia's rugged Costa da Morte, following the evocative Camiño dos Faros. Stretching for approximately 200 kilometres through the province of A Coruña, the route links the fishing port of Malpica to Finisterre, traversing spectacular cliffs, traditional maritime villages, and golden beaches battered by the Atlantic.
The journey crosses wild natural landscapes and unique geological formations, such as the giant stones of Camelle, visiting the most emblematic lighthouses on Spain's westernmost edge. The path alternates between coastal trails and short inland diversions, offering invigorating panoramas where the scent of salt spray and the sea breeze are the true protagonists.
Designed as a self-guided experience, the itinerary includes luggage transfers between stages to allow for total freedom while walking. The trekking difficulty increases progressively over the final three days, ensuring the arrival at Finisterre is the physical crowning achievement of a deep immersion into Galician maritime culture.
