The Camino’s kilometre zero is not Santiago, it actually lies on the Galician coast which was considered the ‘end of the world’ in the Middle Ages. Finisterre derives from Latin, ‘finis terrae’ translating to ‘end of the earth’.
Many early pilgrims would continue the extra 90km from Santiago to collect the scallop shell to prove their successful pilgrimage. Today’s pilgrims head there to burn their clothes and boots to symbolise their complete pilgrimage and a new beginning. Traditionally, the Camino Finisterre concludes at Cape Fisterra however many who choose this option hike the extra 6km along the coast to Muxia to enjoy the wild Atlantic coastal views.
