The Way to Finisterre / Camino de Fisterra / Camino do Fisterra (Galego)

Welcome, fellow pilgrim, to the path to Finisterre.

Finisterre is one of the great hidden treasures amongst the many Caminos de Santiago. Only a tiny proportion of pilgrims arriving at Santiago continue by foot to the 'end of the earth' Finis Terrae. The way to Finisterre truly follows the road less travelled. It is a uniquely beautiful route, full of the flavours of Galicia and her deliciously authentic culture. The spirit of St. James is alive and flourishing in the river valleys and gently rolling hills that make up her landscape temple. Come and experience her untamed beauty and the purity of her Light.

From student gap year to retirement, pilgrimage is an idea whose time has come around again. It provides a wonderful metaphor for the return journey Home and the path to the ?end of the world? a powerful catalyst to speed us on our way.

Life itself is a Pilgrimage. What deeper purpose could it hold than to remind us of the journey back to our divine origins? Somewhere along the way we stumbled into dark clouds of forgetfulness and lost the plot. We need to search out the way marks back to the source of our own inner knowing. The light, while obscured, lies hidden in our memory. It is no coincidence that the path to Finis Terrae ends at a lighthouse.
