You’ll be booked into a hotel in the heart of the small town. You can take the evening to rest before you begin your walk.
The Anllóns Estuary marks the beginning of the third section of this walk, which will take you through the ancient ruins in Borneiro and Dombate before climbing Monte Castelo de Lourido, the peak of the Camino dos Faros. From there, we will descend back to the estuary to explore the spectacular coast of Cabana, filled with caves and charming beaches. Starting from Punta do Cabalo, we’ll arrive in Laxe, crossing the sandy beach to finish the day. You will then be transferred back to your accommodation in Ponteceso.
This walking day is the longest of the route but is also completely flat, making it comfortable. We will traverse the entire Ría de Camariñas, with gentler landscapes and beautiful villages providing a new perspective on the route. In the second part of the day, peaceful sandy beaches at the mouth of the River Grande and the incomparable Praia do Lago lead us to Muxía, where we will reach the Santuario da Barca after ascending Monte Corpiño. We finish for the day at Praia do Coido.
After breakfast we bid you farewell. You will need to walk back to the town of Fisterra and from there, take a bus back to Santiago (this will take about 45 minutes). There is an option to add an extra day here, to stay in the nearby fishing port of Muxia.
