Once we are in Puentedeume we will see the very long stone bridge that crosses the Eume River and the Torreón dos Andrade. Here we will decide depending on how long we have to eat in Ferrol directly or go see Fragas de Eume first. If we have time to see it, Fragas de Eume is a magical place with an exceptional degree of conservation of flora and fauna. It is a thermophilic Atlantic forest considered one of the best examples on the continent. In Ferrol we will take the opportunity to taste its exquisite cuisine.

We are going to take the opportunity to make a route along the famous Costa da Morte. The road follows the coast, seeing towns, cliffs and capes where even the best sailors of each era had trouble not being shipwrecked.

Malpica de Bergantiños is a coastal town where you can enjoy its port and beaches, but mainly we stopped here to enjoy the Miradoiro de Santo Adrián with its views of the Sisargas Islands and to go to the foot of the Punta Nariga lighthouse. Before going to Camariñas we will stop to see another lighthouse, the Roncudo Lighthouse. In this case the Lighthouse is quite simple but the spectacle is the environment where the waters violently break its cliffs and the views of the Ría de Corme and Laxe fill your eyes with fascination. Towards the south we will go to Camariñas, we will see the town in a quiet walk and we will approach the Cabo de Vilán lighthouse. This lighthouse is very interesting for its environment, the landscapes are as beautiful as they are cruel since they have witnessed several shipwrecks, including the sinking of the Serpent.

Like all the lighthouses on the Costa da Morte, the setting is spectacular with cliffs and magical landscapes. In the direction of Finisterre, before arriving, it is advisable to stop at the viewpoint of Fisterra where you can see an incredible image of the town.

Once we get to the town of Fisterra we will approach its lighthouse where we will contemplate the old “Finis Terrae”, that is, the end of the world. We can contemplate the place where it was thought that the sun went out in its waters. It is a place of legends, fantasy and fascination.

If after this landscape you are able to recover from this experience, and if we are on time, we can head towards the wonderful Ézaro Waterfall or eat before in Finisterre. If we choose to follow the route on the way back, we can stop in Cee and eat near its beaches in its charming town. The Ézaro Waterfall is a place where we can enjoy tranquility walking along its wooden paths and looking at all its splendor in the viewpoints. In this place, Kayaks are usually rented to get closer to the waterfall.

After this visit on the way back we have the option, if you wish, to visit the Caldeiras Do Castro, a perfect place to relax and bathe in cold waters of its natural pools. We can visit its chapel and the picnic area. At the end of this fourth day we return to Muxía for dinner and a proper rest.

Day 5. Muros - Noya - Santiago de Compostela

We will have breakfast at the hotel and after check-out our driver will guide us to Santiago passing through Muros. When we get to Muros we can make a stop to see this beautiful fishing village with beaches as interesting as Area Maior, a place with practically no buildings with Mount Louro in the background.

We will see its port and fish market and we will head towards Noya. If we do not mind taking a detour through the area, we can go through the Ponte Nafonso and approach the Tambre hydroelectric power station also called the hydroelectric Cathedral, see its fishermen's refuge and go through its suspension bridge to see the landscape. When we get to Noya we can take a walk through the town and see the parish of San Martín de Noia and the Plaza da Constitución. This town specializes in shellfish and especially cockle and clams. It is a good place to take a break and try its gastronomy.
