Full Day Tour to The Coast of Death and Cape Finisterre

Santiago de Compostela, Spain

Discover the wild and unspoilt beauty of the Galicia region on a day trip from Santiago de Compostela to Finisterre. A three-course lunch is included in this fully guided tour, along with transport from selected Santiago de Compostela hotels.

Traveling to the east of the Galicia region, you'll visit the lovely fishing town of Noia, known for its Romanesque churches Santa Maria a Nova, San Martino and San Francisco. Then cross the 14th-century Pontenafonso Bridge to arrive at Muros, a typical fishing town set on a bay.

The tour continues to Carnota, home to Galicia's longest beach and largest stone granary. Enjoy a three-course lunch featuring local produce, before heading to the small town of Finisterre, on the Nerium promontory. You'll have time to admire the port and beach, and visit the 12th-century Romanesque church known as Christ of the Golden Beard.

At Cape Finisterre, admire impressive views over the Atlantic Ocean from the lighthouse as your guide tells of the tragic stories of shipwrecks along this rocky and dangerous Coast of the Death.

On the scenic drive back to Santiago de Compostela, you'll see beautiful villages clinging precariously to the high mountains that run down to the sea, and fishing towns clustering around estuaries along the coast, sheltered from the winter storms by cliffs and mountains.

A very instresting and knowledgable guide

Review by: Nathan H, Spain	August 2009
This was our first trip with Viator. We were very happy with the day trip, and the guide was very well informed about everything. She had tons of information about history, the villages and traditions. She was a great guide! The lunch, while in a giant upstairs room of a restaurant, was quite good and there were lots of very good seafood and regional wine. They didnt seem to speak any English, but this wasnt a problem for us because we live in Spain and we speak Spanish, but it could be for other visitors. We were the only non-Spanish people on the trip. When we return to this part Spain, we will book with this company again!

Excellent tour, as I have come to expect from Viator. Only problem being that the guide spoke very little English, so if you did not speak French or Spanish you would understand very little of the commentary. Two English people were nearly left behind at one stop as they could not understand the directions for the pickup stop, and we had to return for them.

This was a great trip for getting to out of the way places, not all served by public transport. It covered several places in a small area. The guide was knowledgeable. The price was very reasonable as it included a 3 course dinner, which was mostly seafood. We decided to book a trip with the same operator a couple of days later.

Good tour. Our guide did well providing both Spanish and English information. We appreciated that she provided considerable information in one language, then in the other, rather than trying to jump back and forth with tidbits of information. The areas we saw were beautiful and our lunch was excellent. The small towns on the way were reasonably interesting. The time spent in those towns was about right. Our bus was comfortable.

Coach could have been better. The weather was very wet and there were odd leaks into the coach. However, the rest of the trip was fine. The lunch in Finisterre was first class. Overall the trip was a good value for the money.
