Atlantic Walking at the Edge of Galicia

Discover selected highlights of O Camiño dos Faros on foot, following the wild Atlantic coastline of Galicia’s Costa da Morte.

More than a long-distance trail

O Camiño dos Faros—the Lighthouse Way—is an intimate and memorable way to discover one of Galicia’s most dramatic and authentic coastlines.

The route follows the edge of the Atlantic, linking a succession of lighthouses that have watched over these waters and guided seafarers for generations.

The complete trail connects Malpica with Fisterra over approximately 200 kilometres. It crosses open beaches, rugged cliffs, dunes, woodland, fishing villages and remote headlands shaped by wind, salt and the power of the ocean.

Our itinerary selects approximately 90 kilometres of the most beautiful sections, prioritising natural trails and coastal scenery while avoiding road walking wherever practical.

Highlights along the way

• Punta Nariga
• Punta do Roncudo and its lighthouse
• Castro de Borneiro
• The Dombate Dolmen
• Laxe and its lighthouse
• Cape Touriñán
• Cape Fisterra and its legendary lighthouse

The trail is demanding in places. Numerous short climbs and descents can make some stages feel more challenging than their overall altitude figures suggest.

A support vehicle provides additional flexibility on selected days, allowing the guides to adapt distances when necessary.
