The Fisterra lighthouse is considered by some pilgrims the absolute end of the many Camino(s) to Santiago de Compostela. Serious pilgrims continue the extra 50 miles beyond Santiago to what until medieval times was considered the westernmost end of the known world mainland (never mind the many islands...). The various Caminos are well marked over their entire length in Spain with mile(km)-stones and the famous shell symbol, as well as yellow arrows. Also the physical well-being is taken care of on the Camino: For just 10 €, many places offer the so-called pilgrims menu which consists of a starter, a main course and a dessert. A drink is also included. Plenty of accommodation possibilities are provided, some for free or a donation, up to 15 € for simple hostels. These usually have dorms with multiple double beds, some offer twin rooms! There is a variety of printed and online pilgrim guides available with these facilities and additional tips.

One could argue about the "real" or "correct" end of the Camino. However, if one understands it in its original form as a pilgrimage to the tomb of the apostle James the Greater, for the pilgrim it is natural that the Camino came to its (hopefully happy) end right there, in Santiago de Compostela.

Only a few pilgrims walk the Camino from Santiago de Compostela to the end of the world. The landscape is very worth seeing and the path is easy to walk.
