CaminoWays.com, the Camino experts, have launched a wonderful new North West Spanish Camino route available for pilgrims in 2019: the Sea of Arousa Camino walk and boat, also known as Camino Espiritual. I have friends who have walked all or parts of the trail and several who are planning their own pilgrim walks. This new route will no doubt lighten the load of international pilgrims on this increasingly popular bucket list activity, walking and weaving through beautiful coastal landscapes, villages and ancient monasteries from March through November.
The Sea of Arousa Camino trail was recently approved by Santiago Cathedral as an official Camino de Santiago route. The trail takes pilgrims through quaint coastal villages, lush forest tracks, vineyards, sandy beaches and ancient monasteries following an alternative route to the classic Camino Portugues.
This fascinating Camino trail is also known as Camino Espiritual as this unique Camino includes a boat trip across Arousa Estuary retracing the route taken by the body of St James on its way to Santiago.
Not to miss on this trail:
Wonderful Pontevedra Old Town
Picturesque granaries in the village of Combarro
Forest trails to Armenteira Monastery
A swim at the beach in Vilanova
Boat trip across Arousa Bay to Padron
A short break on the Sea of Arousa Camino Espiritual from Pontevedra can be walked in just 4 days but if you'd like to receive your Compostela certificate it's recommend that you start your walk from Vigo or Baiona to walk at least 100kms into Santiago.
