History and what to see
Past Logoso and Hospital, a signposted roundabout splits the path: Muxía one way, Fisterra the other. Head for Fisterra and, before the descent to Cee, by the Cruceiro da Armada, the sea finally appears. It is one of the most moving moments of the Camino. In Corcubión, stroll through its historic quarter of stone houses.
Legends & tradition
Why the Coast of Death
This coast owes its name to the many shipwrecks of the 19th and early 20th centuries, made famous by Galician and English writers. One of the best known was the British warship Serpent, lost near Camariñas in 1890.
