Crossing Galicia

1695

Experience the distinct landscape and cultural traditions of Galicia.

Category:

cruzando-galicia-detallesThis is without doubt one of the most compelling stretches of the Camino, not only due to its delightful natural terrain, but also because it features two key destinations on any pilgrim’s list—that is, the city of Santiago de Compostela and the legendary peninsula of Cape Finisterre.

This thrilling route crosses the entire province of Galicia from east to west, beginning in the village of O Cebreiro, an ideal starting point on account of its rich history and, at a height of 1300 meters, soaring beauty. From the very first kilometre right up to your arrival at the Atlantic coast, you will get a deep appreciation of the unique landscape and rich cultural heritage of Galicia.
