The wind tugs at the heather, and sand crunches beneath your shoes on an empty beach. That’s how you leave Arou: the ocean stays in sight and the path stays low, barely higher than 70 metres.
Still, it’s not an easy walk. The path keeps climbing and dropping just a little, over rocky track, stretches of sand and bits of asphalt past small villages. It adds up. You’ll be on the move for well over six hours.
Camariñas sits on a wide bay and is known for its lacework. You enter the village along the water, with the harbour right ahead of you. Take your time on the beach sections, and the rest will come more easily.
