This is a Camino for anyone who wants to take it easy. Salt in the air, water beside you and room to think. It is a short route along the Atlantic coast of Galicia, well suited to beginners. Experienced walkers looking for a quieter Camino will also find plenty to enjoy here.
You start in Muros, a genuine fishing town. From there you follow the ría to Noia, with the water in view and small villages along the way. If you are coming from Porto do Son, that branch joins the route in Noia. From Noia the route turns inland. The landscape becomes more rolling and the path regularly goes up and down, but never extremely. That way you walk steadily towards Santiago.
May to September is the best time to go. In the winter months it is cool and wet, with around seventeen days of rain a month at times.
Please note: the route is shorter than the 100 kilometres you need to walk for the Compostela. Want to earn it? Then start earlier, for example in Finisterre or Muxía. Or ask in Santiago about the requirements.
