Apps for Finisterre & Muxía

Walking Beyond Santiago de Compostela
to the Atlantic Ocean

It's long been a tradition to continue walking all the way to the
Spanish Atlantic coast—after resting in Santiago de Compostela. 

Some say this tradition started even before the pilgrimage routes were established nearly 2,000 years ago. 
Some, especially those who believe in the ancient stories,
actually burn their well-worn hiking clothes after arriving at the coast.

Then they return home, renewed.
(and fully clothed)

TIP
 When I first opened this app, I saw Spanish-language instructions.
But after clicking Start, the app became an English-language guide.
I mention this so you don't give up on the app just after opening it—
if you're not fluent in Spanish.
