Hiking in Galicia - Camiño dos Faros

Spain's green north is a completely different side of the country than what we might imagine. Here you hike along a magnificent coastal trail that is relatively newly established but at the same time charged with history. Between the fresh Atlantic and magnificent sandy beaches without people, thoughts easily wander to the wild maritime history that has given the place the name Coast of Death - Costa da Morte. The trail faithfully follows the water through small villages that still live from fishing and the air smells of salt and pine forest. Each day offers new views: secluded coves, lagoons full of birdsong, strange rock formations and of course the iconic lighthouses that give the trail its name. The accommodations are genuine and welcoming – from rural casas rurales to small hotels by the sea. With luggage transported and digital maps on your phone, you just need to enjoy the freedom and magic of Galicia's wild coast.
