Stage 5. Arou – Camariñas (23.8 km)

Information

Now we are really in the heart of the Costa da Morte and the Way of the Lighthouses. More long beaches, dunes to "surf", strange rock formations, shipwrecks, a villainous lighthouse,... a stage of affordable mileage that will give much to talk about, and that takes us from Arou to the town of Camariñas in A Coruña, with some climbs whose landscapes will compensate our effort.

Would you like to walk this stage with your accommodation already booked? These organised trips include it: Lighthouse Route from Malpica to Finisterre and Way of the Lighthouses Arou – Finisterre.

A legendary stage: the Monte Branco dune system opens the way to Trece beach and the English Cemetery, a memorial to the shipwrecks of this coast. You walk among rock formations from another planet — don't miss the Piedra del Oso — up to the Vilán lighthouse, the first electric lighthouse in Spain. You finish in Camariñas, town of bobbin lace.
