Cicerone - Walking The Camino Dos Faros

Cicerone: WALKING THE CAMINO DOS FAROS

The way of the lighthouses on Spain's Galician coast

This guide covers the 200km long Camiño dos Faros (the Way of the Lighthouses), an eight day hike along the coast of Galicia in north-west Spain. The stages are 17-29km per day with nights spent in often excellent
accommodation. Highlights include stunning clifftop walking, quiet fishing villages, easy access, delicious seafood and a Michelin starred restaurant directly on the route!
The Galician coast is an unspoilt, and often wild, region, offering visiting walkers a chance to get to know a unique and authentic part of Spain, far from the crowded beaches of the Mediterranean. A well waymarked and established trail allows walkers take in the beautiful scenery and absorb the interesting history and culture scenes along the way.
The guide gives details of accommodation, public transport, shortcuts and route planning. High quality maps accompany each stage, along with inspiring photographs and detailed route descriptions.
