From Vila Praia de Ancora to A Guarda

Information

This stage offers you one of the most different and fun experiences of the whole Portuguese coastal route. Today we depart from Vila Praia de Ancora to cross the Miño river by ferry from Caminha to A Guarda. Not everyone can say that they start their journey in Galicia by disembarking, eh?

The day has a special moment: from Caminha you cross the mouth of the Miño by ferry and land in Galicia, at A Guarda. Once on Galician soil, you climb Monte de Santa Tecla, with its impressive panoramic view of the estuary and one of the finest hillfort settlements in all of Spain. You finish in A Guarda, a small fishing town with a harbour and great seafood. (Check the ferry timetable beforehand.)
