Information
The village of O Grove is geographically situated on a tombolo, connected to the mainland by the sandy bar that forms the space of Lanzada. For this reason, we present this stage, a circular stage in which you can explore the coastal line of O Grove and enjoy all its corners. However, if you prefer, it is also possible to skip it and continue the experience in the next stage.
About this circular stage of O Grove, there is nothing written regarding how to undertake it; you can start from whichever end catches your attention, as the order of the factors will not alter the product. Just like in the rest of the route of Padre Sarmiento, we will find this circular section marked.
Apart from the impressive coastal landscape that we will enjoy, the most representative landmarks we can discover on our little detour are: the islands of Sálvora, the island of La Toja and its curious chapel covered in shells, archaeological sites, lagoons, an open-air museum, the viewpoint of Siradella, and various beaches.
Things to consider
Staying an extra day in O Grove to complete this circular stage and enjoy its charms is entirely optional and depends on you and the time you have available. Some pilgrims choose to stay and enjoy the sun and the beach, while others prefer to keep walking.
