Tour Description

Descubre el Camino de Santiago A Orixe (el Origen) 

La ruta conocida como A Orixe (la palabra gallega para “el origen) hace referencia a los inicios del Camino de Santiago. Cuenta la leyenda que los restos mortales del Apóstol Santiago llegaron a Galicia desde Palestina a través del mar, en una barca de piedra. Una vez en la costa atlántica, se adentraron en el interior de Galicia a través de la Ría de Arousa y el Río Ulla. Siguieron la senda que hoy en día se conoce como la Traslatio.

El itinerario de A Orixe ofrece la variante que da comienzo en el Faro de Corrubedo. A través de sus 120 km, te adentrarás en la región de Galicia conocida como el Barbanza, descubriendo los secretos de las villas costeras de Ribeira, Boiro, A Pobra do Caramiñal, Rianxo… Hasta llegar a Pontecesures, punto en el que el trazado se junta con el Camino Portugués, continuando por esta ruta hasta llegar a Santiago de Compostela.

Se trata de una ruta perfecta para quienes busques conocer rincones escondidos de la región de Galicia, pequeños pueblos marítimos, y dejarse impresionar por los paisajes y la gastronomía de esta zona más desconocida. La elección perfecta para los peregrinos que busquen huir de las rutas más masificadas, y encontrar pequeños tesoros por el camino.

Check in Corrubedo

Arrival at Corrubedo (Ribeira). This coastal village is distinguished by its famous lighthouse, located at Cape Corrubedo.

Corrubedo - Aguiño (22 km)

This is an accessible stage from Corrubedo to Aguiño, in the heart of Barbanza. The trail will take us through areas of great attraction, starting with the Corrubedo lighthouse. We will continue through protected natural areas, such as the Corrubedo dune complex and the Carregal and Vixá lagoons. In addition to views such as those offered by the Mirador de Os Castelos.

Aguiño - A Pobra do Caramiñal (21 km)

This second stage is also affordable both in terms of distance and the nature of the terrain. Always accompanied by the pleasant coastal views, we will leave behind Ribeira and Palmeira, to get into A Pobra do Caramiñal (or Puebla del Caramiñal).

A Pobra do Caramiñal – Abanqueiro (23 Km)

We continue our journey through small chapels, cruises, pazos, ports and fishing villages. Abanqueiro, in the municipality of Boiro, is a small coastal village that stands out for its beach (Praia de Suigrexa) and the Church of San Cristovo de Abanqueiro.

Abanqueiro – Rianxo (23 km)

The stage from Abanqueiro to Rianxo does not involve great technical difficulties. It will also take us through small coastal villages, churches and cruceiros. It is a very maritime path, bordering the coast, which will take us to Rianxo. There, the chapel of the Virgin of Guadalupe and the church of Santa Comba stand out.

Rianxo – Padrón (30 km)

This day is the longest stage of this route, almost 30 km long. It is advisable to be mentally prepared for a long but rewarding walk. Here we will be able to see the maritime route that gives its name to the route, “A Orixe”, known as the Traslatio.

Padrón – Santiago de Compostela (24 km)

Final stage, which overlaps completely with the Portuguese Way. From this point we will see how the number of pilgrims increases significantly with respect to the previous days, and even more so as we approach Santiago de Compostela, our final destination.
