Rocks, heather and the Atlantic Ocean at your side for almost the whole day. The path winds along the coast, drops down to small bays and climbs back up over open hills. There is very little shelter. Here, the wind has you at its mercy.

The highest point is nothing special, but you are going up and down all day. That adds up to well over 1,000 metres of climbing. You will feel it most in the second half, when your legs have already done some miles. It takes well over ten hours, not counting breaks. Finally, you descend to Nemiña, a small coastal village by a beach. So allow plenty of time for your breaks and make sure you arrive well before dark.

Tips for this stage

  • Take food and water for the whole day.
  • Keep your pace low on the first climbs; the hills keep coming.
  • Wear sturdy shoes with good grip: rocky coastal paths get slippery in the rain.
