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?
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 along the coast from A Guarda, Portuguese Way along the coast from Oporto to Santiago and Portuguese Way along the coast from Porto to A Guarda.
The day has a special moment: you leave Vila Praia de Âncora along the coast to Caminha and, from there, cross the mouth of the Miño by ferry and step ashore in Galicia. Once on Galician soil you can climb Monte de Santa Tecla, with one of the best-preserved Iron Age hillforts in Spain and a magnificent view of the river mouth, with Portugal right opposite. You finish in A Guarda, a small fishing town with a lively harbour and excellent seafood, famous for its lobster. (Check the ferry timetable beforehand.)
