This full-day bus trip lasts about 9 hours and explores the main sites along the Costa da Morte coastline near Santiago de Compostela. The tour begins at the Mirador de As Paxareiras, a viewpoint overlooking the Muros and Noia estuary, where visitors can observe the green hills meeting the Atlantic Ocean. Next, the route reaches the Fervenza de Ezaro waterfall, where the Xallas River drops directly into the sea over granite rocks. Visitors can get close to the base of the falls. The bus then travels along the coast near the Corcubion estuary, passing through the villages of Cee and Corcubión, known for their whaling past and trade history. The tour continues to the Faro de Fisterra lighthouse on Cape Finisterre, a 19th-century structure overlooking the cliffs and ocean, traditionally seen as the end point of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. After that, there is a 90-minute stop in the village of Fisterra for free time to walk through the town center, visit the fish market, and try local seafood. In the afternoon, the tour heads to Muxía to visit the sanctuary of the Virgin of the Boat, situated by the ocean and surrounded by distinctive rock formations tied to local legends. The bus then follows the Camariñas river area, passing the village famous for lace making and shipwreck history. The final stop is the Faro De Cabo Vilan lighthouse near Camariñas, set on steep cliffs and known for its early use of electric light. The day ends with open ocean views and reflections on the maritime past of the region. Included in the tour are an official guide, air conditioning on the vehicle, and audio guides upon request. Lunch is not included.
