The best sunsets on the Camino de Santiago: magical evenings

What are the best sunsets on the Camino de Santiago? Discover magical evenings you’ll remember for a lifetime

The Camino de Santiago offers not only landscapes and culture but also unforgettable natural spectacles. Every day, after your stage, you can enjoy a unique sunset in some of the most beautiful places in Galicia and along the Camino. At caminodesantiagoreservas.com we recommend some of the most special ones.

One of the most iconic places to watch the sunset is the Finisterre Lighthouse, where the sun sinks into the Atlantic. Tradition says that pilgrims burned their clothes here to symbolise the end of one cycle and the beginning of another.

• Tip: arrive early to find a good spot and bring something warm, as it gets cooler at dusk.
• CLICK HERE AND REACH FISTERRA 

Before entering Santiago, Monte do Gozo offers an emotionally charged sunset. From here you can see the city in the distance as the sky turns orange and violet.

• Tip: ideal for resting and reflecting before the final arrival.

On the border between Castilla and Galicia, O Cebreiro offers stunning views at more than 1,300 metres of altitude. The clouds often turn golden and pink, creating an almost mystical atmosphere.

• Tip: after the sunset, enjoy a dinner with octopus in the traditional *pallozas*.
• START YOUR CAMINO IN O CEBREIRO 

If you decide to explore the Rías Baixas after your Camino, don’t miss the sunsets on beaches like A Lanzada or in Combarro, with its *hórreos* by the sea and an endless horizon.

• Tip: enjoy the sunset with a glass of Albariño.
