Information
When we reach the halfway point of this path, after passing Laxe, we are going to reward you with a delicious stage, the youngest of the family, which opens the door to the heart of the Costa da Morte: today we arrive at Arou. This one, the shortest and easiest of all, will offer us some interesting climbs, but will give us infinite landscapes and will be the beginning of the great beaches of this magical coast. In addition, it will delight us with sparkling crystals and endearing characters.
This stage is part of the Way of the Lighthouses. Would you like to walk it with your accommodation already booked? These organised trips include it: Lighthouse Route from Malpica to Finisterre, Way of the Lighthouses Malpica – Arou and Way of the Lighthouses Arou – Finisterre.
Arou is a tiny fishing hamlet of low houses and beached boats, on one of the wildest stretches of the Galician coast. Its pale-sand beach with clear waters sits sheltered between rocks, and just a step away is Camelle, with the open-air museum of Man, the German who fell in love with this coastline. There's little else to do, and that calm is exactly what you come here for.
