Stage III

OLVEIROA – FISTERRA - (33 Km)

We leave Olveiroa along a path that goes up a track that leads to Castrelo´s reservoir. Most of this strech is uphill. We cross Valderripas bridge until we reach Logoso village and without leaving the dirty track we reach Hospital.

This village is left behind and along the road that we came to in Hospital area, we arrived to a fork in the road and to the left we go to Fisterra.

The cardbide factory forces us to continue along the road until the factory´s door. In front of this door the Camino Real begins again. Following the trails, we reach first Marco do Couto Cross, then As Neves sanctuary and finally San Pedro Mártir. 

We continue along the tracks until we reach Armada´s Mountain. In this place you can see one of the best Fisterra´s cape views. The descent is complicated until we reach Cee village, but from here the path is a pleasant walk along the sea.

We pass Cee village and we walk two kilometres until reach Corcubión. One kilometre after Corcubión in Fisterra´s direction, we can find  San Roque´s Pilgrims Hostel in Vilar village, managed by AGACS association. From here we continue along the road that takes us to Sardiñeiro village, passing by Estorde beach, which marks the Fisterra´s village entrance.

We reach Fisterra by the extensive and beautiful Langosteira beach. The ritual of bathing takes place here. We walk along the beach 2 km and we enter through Fisterra´s village by Avenida de A Coruña street and walking along Santa Catalina street we find in front of us the Fisterra´s Municipal Hostel.

Here the Fisterrana certificate is given for pilgrims that correctly prove the route with their stamped credentials. This certificate will not be given to pilgrims who have not completed this route on foot, by bike or on horseback and they will not be accommodated in the Municipal pilgrims hostel if they arrive by bus, by car or other means of transport.

Municipal pilgrims hostel is located in Real Street number 2. From here the lighthouse is 3 km away. The sunset ritual is celebrated in the lighthouse area.
