What to expect
You'll spend most of the day in an air-conditioned 4x4, stopping frequently to stretch legs and explore on foot. The route sweeps northward through green Galician valleys, pausing at the Dombate passage tomb before reaching the coast near Laxe. From there you'll trace a southern loop via exposed headlands and small ports where weathered boats and stone buildings tell of centuries of Atlantic living. Expect narrow coastal roads, variable weather, and walking of 15–30 minutes at each major stop. Your guide speaks English and German fluently and adjusts the itinerary based on your pace and preferences.
