Stage 6. A Guarda – Baiona (30.7 km)

Information

This is the first stage of the itinerary that runs exclusively through Galician lands. This is an exciting route from A Guarda along the spectacular rocky coastline of the southern Baixo Miño, passing through Oia before arriving in Baiona. In Oia we will be able to know the traditional customs associated with the fishing villages and in Baiona we will enjoy its beautiful old town and a walk along the Fortress of Monterreal.

Note that this stage can be divided in two, making a first section from A Guarda to Oia and a second section from Oia to Baiona.

This stage is part of the Portuguese Way along the coast. Would you like to walk it with your accommodation already booked? These organised trips include it: Portuguese Way from Baiona (6 stages) and Portuguese Way from Baiona VIP.

Baiona is one of the prettiest towns in Galicia: a lively harbour, a seafront promenade and the Monterreal fortress closing off the bay, now a parador ringed by a wall you can walk all the way round. On the pier waits a replica of the Pinta caravel, which brought here the news of the New World. Seafood, terraces and beaches just steps away.
