Information
Start your adventure with an affordable mileage stage, with lots of ups and downs, and diverse terrain: from the urban ground of Malpica, passing through the dirt tracks of the Ermita de San Adrián, until you reach the typical fishermen's paths, sometimes narrow and delimited by the towers of Niñóns Beach; in some stretches it is necessary to pay attention, and it is advisable to walk in single file. You will find beaches, cliffs, forests, small inhabited places and various creeks and springs, and of course, lighthouses. Take it easy, as the second half of the stage is a bit demanding.
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 and Way of the Lighthouses Malpica – Arou.
You start out from the fishing harbour of Malpica and within a few kilometres you are already walking on cliffs, with the Sisargas islands and their lighthouse outlined on the horizon from Cape San Hadrián. Then come fishermen's paths, lonely beaches and the odd stream to cross barefoot. The prize is up top, at the Punta Nariga lighthouse, among impossibly shaped rocks and petroglyphs.
