A Grixa soon falls behind you. It’s the last morning of this Camino and you can feel it: there’s no rush, just a touch of wistfulness. The road rises and falls gently, with no really tricky stretches. Via Quintáns and Lourido, you reach the sea.

Then everything changes. There’s salt in the air and you walk along the beach to Muxía. The sanctuary of the Virxe da Barca stands right by the water. Here your road simply comes to an end. If you’d like to stay the night, Muxía has a public pilgrim albergue.

Tips for this stage

  • There's more downhill than uphill: save your knees on the descents.
  • Give the sanctuary of the Virxe da Barca some time, don't just walk past it.
  • You can sleep in Muxía at the public albergue, so there's no need to go on.
