Walking towards the “End of the World”

The Costa de Morte (literally, the “Death Coast”) is surrounded by legends and mystery. It is becoming increasingly popular for pilgrims to extend their pilgrimage to Santiago and get to Fisterra to get to the “end of the world”

If after completing the Portuguese Camino you still feel strong, you could continue walking this beautiful 3-day journey.
