The Camiño dos Faros (Lighthouse Way) is a path of about 200 km that follows the edge of the sea from Malpica to the Fisterra lighthouse, in eight stages. Its last four, from Arou to Fisterra, are the ones that cover this part of the coast: Cape Vilán and Camariñas, Muxía, Nemiña beach, the hamlet of Lires and Monte do Facho before the lighthouse. Done with an agency from Cee, Travels to Finisterre, you just walk and they take care of the beds, of taking you to the start of each stage and of moving your luggage.
The four stages

Stage 5, Arou – Camariñas: 23.8 km, about 575 m of ascent and descent, medium difficulty. It passes Cape Vilán and its lighthouse.
Stage 6, Camariñas – Muxía: 32.6 km, the longest of the whole way, about 770 m of elevation change, medium difficulty. It goes around the Camariñas ría to the Sanctuary of the Virxe da Barca.
Stage 7, Muxía – Nemiña: 25.3 km and about 1,075 m of elevation change, high difficulty.
Stage 8, Nemiña – Fisterra lighthouse: 26.9 km and about 1,100 m, tough. It crosses the Vaosilveiro forest and Lires, continues along the sands of Area Grande and O Rostro, passes the Castromiñán hill fort and the coves of Arnela and Mar de Fora, and ends by climbing Monte do Facho to Cape Fisterra. The way's website estimates nine hours for this stage, with stops.

The Lires ría, which the way's website presents as the smallest in Galicia, is skirted via the Vaosilveiro bridge; cutting across the sand saves about 3 km, but it can only be done for a couple of hours in summer, at low tide, and never in the rainy season. On stage 8 there is water at the Soleiros fountain and the Punta Longa one, and a bar in Lires and in A Insua.
What the package is like and what it costs
The 2027 programme lasts six days and five nights: you arrive in Camariñas by your own means, sleep there two nights, one in Muxía, one in Lires and the last in Fisterra. It costs from €435 per person in a double room and low season; a single room adds €200, and high season, from 21 to 28 March and from June to September, €85. It includes accommodation, always in a private room with bathroom and breakfast, transfers between the hotel and the start or end of each stage, luggage transport, GPS tracks, information on each stage and insurance. There is no guide. These packages are not sold from November to February. If you have more days, the same agency does all eight stages in nine nights from €725. Book by email or on 981 745 791.
Who it is for
It is not a stroll on the beach. It is four days in a row of more than 23 km, with very steep ramps, such as those at Punta Robaleira or Monte do Facho on the last stage, and descents on loose stone; it is not an officially approved trail, and the association that created it in 2012 stopped taking responsibility for its maintenance in 2020. If you walk often and have good footwear, it is the most complete way to see this coast on foot.

The way's website estimates nine hours leaving at 10:00 and reaching the lighthouse around 19:00; if you can, set out earlier.

### Check the tide at Lires
Crossing the ría's sand is only possible at low tide in summer; if in doubt, take the bridge.

On the last stage there are only fountains at Soleiros and Punta Longa and bars at Lires and A Insua.
