Our take
If you're torn between several Finisterre trips, this one brings something different, Cape Vilán lighthouse and its cliffs, in exchange for skipping Carnota and Ponte Maceira. At 4.7/5 with plenty of reviews, it's a safe bet.

The experience
What you will see
- The Ézaro waterfall, where the Xallas river drops straight into the sea.
- Cape Finisterre and its lighthouse, the Romans' end of the world.
- Muxía and the Virxe da Barca sanctuary facing the Atlantic.
- Cape Vilán lighthouse, above the cliffs of Camariñas.
How it works
You leave from Rúa dos Bautizados in Santiago and travel the Costa da Morte in an air-conditioned vehicle with an official guide. Stops include Ézaro, Cape Finisterre, the town of Fisterra (an hour and a half for lunch), Muxía and Cape Vilán before returning to Santiago after about nine hours.
Who I recommend it for
- Anyone who wants to see the end of the world and Galicia's wildest coast in a day.
- Pilgrims who want to reach Finisterre without walking.
- Travellers who already know Carnota and would rather add lighthouses and cliffs.
Who I don't recommend it for
- Anyone who gets carsick on long road trips.
- Travellers after small groups: there can be up to 60 people.
