Meis walks

Starting from the monastery of Santa María da Armenteira, located in the village of Meis, hike through forests of eucalyptus, chestnut and pine trees. The paths are well marked. No major difficulties. An hour after setting off, there is a beautiful view of the valley and the sea in the distance.

Tour of the southern part of the island in the Parque Natural do Carreirón, with beautiful beaches, well marked and very easy to access.Please note: the route passes by a naturist beach with nudists who may not appreciate "textiles".

Part of the Portuguese Way of Saint James. The Vigo estuary begins in Baiona, protected by the Cíes Islands, the heart of the Atlantic Islands National Park. Along the Way, you will find beautiful examples of traditional architecture, historic country houses and calvaries.

This walk can be done as an extention to any Camino de Santiago. It's the older reason people, like the Romans, walked across the top of the Iberian Peninsula, following the Milky Way to the ends of the earth (as it was known). Our recomendation is to go through Muxía rather than head straight to Fisterra (the name of the town). Also, we recommend going the extra 3 km to reach Cape Finisterre. Great scenery and an amazing climax to see the sunset on the Atlantic Ocean from the cape.

Time to leave Santiago behind and follow the sun going west. It's more or less downhill as far as Aguapesada, then there's a bit of a climb over Alto do Mar de Ovellas, where we have to go up 210 metros in about 2 km, up to Carballo. Then it's a stroll, crossing the Tambre river and into Negreira.

The final stage of the Camino Primitivo, completing the 308.5 km. An easy walk to finish and still be in time for the Pilgrim's Mass at 12 o'clock midday. The route goes past the Monte do Gozo (Hill of Joy) which gives us a fine view of the three spires of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. From there, it's about an hour to the main door and entrance to the Cathedral and the end of this journey. However, the recommendation is to continue a few days more to Finisterre, on the Atlantic coast.
