Popular with pilgrims arriving by sea in the medieval period, it is quietly coming alive again and ready to welcome pilgrims seeking a more solitary way along the rugged rias of Northern Galicia.

Both paths are uniquely beautiful, full of the flavours of Galicia and her deliciously authentic culture.
