Where to Eat on the Camino from Santiago to Fisterra

Walking from Santiago de Compostela to Fisterra is not just a continuation of the pilgrimage—it’s a deeply symbolic journey to the edge of the world. Over four to five walking days, this route offers lush landscapes, coastal beauty, and a chance for reflection. But let’s not forget one of the most delightful aspects of the Camino: the food. Each stage features hidden gems where pilgrims can recharge with hearty Galician dishes. At LivingTheCamino.com, we not only guide you on the path, but we also help you discover the best culinary stops along the way.

Stage 1: Santiago de Compostela to Negreira (21 km)

Leaving the cathedral behind, you’ll pass through small hamlets and rolling countryside. While Negreira is the official end of the stage, the best food often lies between.

• Sarela de Abaixo – A Taberna do Bispo: Just as you exit Santiago, grab a strong coffee and a tortilla to start the day right.
• Carballo – Casa Pancho: Authentic Galician food in a rural setting. Perfect stop for caldo gallego or empanada.
• Negreira – Restaurante Imperio: A popular pilgrim stop for their menú del día and friendly service.

Stage 2: Negreira to Olveiroa (33 km)

This is the longest and most rural stage. Plan your food breaks wisely and enjoy the silence of deep Galicia.
