The stages that make up the section of the Camino de Santiago Baiona to Santiago are the last ones on the Camino Portugues Coastal Route. It is an ideal route for all those who wish to visit the Rias Baixas and the main Galician cities: Vigo, Pontevedra and Santiago de Compostela.
Much of the tour takes place along the estuary, so you will have numerous occasions to enjoy the tastiest seafood in the world and exquisite wines. In addition, this route offers you the opportunity to visit charming villages such as Redondela, Caldas de Reis, with its hot springs, or Padron, birthplace of the poet Rosalia de Castro and a town very famous for its peppers.
The Camino Portugues from Baiona ends at the Cathedral of Compostela, where the body of Santiago the Apostle rests. Once you have regained your breath, after the exciting and unforgettable moments that are lived when you arrive at the Plaza del Obradoiro, you can request the certificate that accredits your pilgrimage, known as the Compostela.
The Camino Portugues Coastal route from Baiona meets the two necessary requirements to apply for The Compostela: having done at least 100 kilometres on foot and finishing the tour in the Cathedral of Santiago.
