Originally wanted to walk some of the Camino dos Faros (lighthouse way) but found it difficult to understand the bus service, plus was worried about not finding accommodation.
After talking with the lady who issues the Finisterre Compostela certificate, she very kindly gave me the bus details, so decided to venture to Malpica, the starting point for this lighthouse Camino.
I ended up walking just a little of the first stage and back the same
way, as not to get lost etc. Absolutely stunning rocky coast line.
No obvious accommodation in Malpica but on Booking.Com found a hotel that was supposed to be a short walk away. Actually ended up being an hours walk away!
It was well worth the walk, as it was an absolutely amazing place. It appeared to be an event type venue. The only down side was no food available other than a vending machine with some dodgy looking junk food (crisps, chocolate bars and cake).
