Information
Oia, a peaceful coastal spot, stands out for its Cistercian monastery, impressive cliffs and seascapes that invite rest and contemplation.
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 and Portuguese Way along the coast from Oporto to Santiago.
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.)
