Itinerary

For those drawn to wild, windswept coasts and hidden gems, the "Camino dos Faros: The Lighthouse Way" offers an unforgettable walking adventure along Spain’s Costa da Morte. This 8-day, self-guided tour is tailored for seasoned explorers and seniors seeking a moderately challenging yet deeply scenic trek.

The route, crafted by local friends, is a distinctive alternative to the classic Camino, hugging the dramatic cliffs and deserted beaches between Malpica and Finisterre. Each day, you’ll traverse rugged footpaths once trodden by Galician fishermen—paths that at times demand sure-footedness and a touch of courage. The itinerary thoughtfully avoids the most difficult segments, incorporating vehicle transfers as needed, so you can focus on savoring the panoramic ocean views and quiet coves ideal for a refreshing summer swim.

Evenings unfold in inviting fishing villages, where welcoming accommodations and exceptional regional cuisine await. From Michelin-starred restaurants to casual seaside shacks serving freshly grilled fish, the gastronomic delights of Galicia are as much a part of the journey as the scenery. Along the way, your trek will lead you to six fascinating destinations, culminating in Vimianzo.

The true highlight of this tour is the rare chance to explore a coastal Camino route, largely untouched by crowds, where natural beauty and authentic local culture go hand in hand. For travelers who yearn for immersive landscapes, vibrant village life, and a taste of Galician hospitality, this walking tour package promises a blend of adventure, comfort, and culinary discovery.

The best accommodation by far was at Casa da Vasca in Barizo. The room was extremely well-equipped for walkers, with a great bathroom with a generous supply of various shower and bath products, as well as a fridge and a kettle in the room. The restaurant experience was a wonderful surprise, with high class cuisine and to top it off, a magnificent view. Our hosts were friendly, generous and helpful despite our poor Spanish. The most enjoyable walking was along the wild coastal sections, despite poor weather on the first walking day. The app told us the coastal route towards Cementario de los Inglesas was closed due to the effects of a fire, so we needed to take the inland route. After doing this we discovered that the coastal route was open and that it was being used by other walkers.
