Camiño dos Faros

On this route, the sea plays a central role as we explore the lighthouses and sights of the Costa da Morte.

The route is divided into eight stages, and the times given for each stage are only approximate estimates, without taking into account stops. In practice, it often takes longer, as it is difficult not to pause at every step to admire the impressive surroundings. This hike should not be undertaken in a hurry, but with a focus on experiencing nature.

The lighthouse trail runs directly along the coast, and although we pass numerous beaches, we must not forget that the route runs along a steep, rugged coastline with many differences in altitude and challenging ascents and descents.

The combination of breathtaking beaches and rugged coastal landscape makes the Lighthouse Trail an unforgettable experience. Along the way, we cross areas where the best "percebes" (barnacles) in the world grow, shaped by the constant, powerful waves that crash against the rocks. In places like O Roncudo, we see where the "percebeiros" (fishermen who collect these barnacles) risk their lives to harvest this Galician delicacy.

During the eight days of this route, we will come across places of great historical importance, such as the cemetery of the English in Camariñas or the Santuario da Virxe da Barca with its mysterious "Stone of Abalar".

We experience the impressive nature of this region, from beaches, dunes, cliffs and forests to estuaries where numerous native bird species can be observed.

Our destination, Cape Fisterra, which has been considered the end of the world for centuries, offers a magical end to the hike. Here the Celts honored the sun, and we enjoy a spectacular view of the Atlantic Ocean and the rugged Galician coastline.

Although we now know that it is not the real end of the world, Cape Fisterra remains an incomparable destination for our nine-day hike through the natural paradise of the Costa da Morte.
