We did the Del Mar last Sept/Oct-Ribadeo to Santiago. Can share our stages or you can find them on Wikiloc. Generally, made reservations through Booking (and a few others when accommodations were sparse). Infrastructure is still weak but that is part of developing a functional Camino. June/July should present no accommodation problems: due to the number of gorgeous beaches and parks. The lack of certainty re route, accommodations, food etc is both challenging and exciting. More really good info is available on the FB group page, including from the administrator, Oliva. Bottom line: the route is inspirationally awesome!!!!
I plan to walk Ruta Do Mar around The first couple weeks in July 2023. I have mapped out shorter stages with Google maps all the way to Camino English.
I have walked the Ingles before, in 2019, so looking to begin in Ribadeo approx 6/27. I will need to book ahead this Camino, so do appreciate your stages. Thank you.
And if you need a little splurge/rest day...the Parador in Ferrol was fabulous! No, I dont book Paradors as a rule, but this place was inexpensive and really a great location to start from with a nice little place to eat, rest, sip wine , drink coffee without having to leave...restful.
I just checked it out on Google And saved it to my favorites. Looks like a great location and not that expensive. Thanks. I’ll keep it in mind.
I got quite excited when I saw this -thank you, but I have been looking at magwood.me blog - and the Cicerone guide. Whilst Google offers a shorter route overall I wouldn’t want to miss those coastal paths. I guess very careful planning will be the trick.
Great point! Depending on how I feel, I can have those longer Coastal stages as an option. Also, if I do a shorter Google stage, and take a day off. I can venture toward the coast and explore. I will definitely check out Magwood, thanks for the tip.
Thanks Magwood, I have started working through both and with the Cicerone guide I hope to work out a short route. Will only have about a week left at the end of Salvador and a shortened (Lugo) Primitivo . Coming from Australia means I always want to squeeze too much in.
Hi David. So pleased to be of help. I’m sure you’ll love the Ruta do Mar.
Totally agree! Google maps may tend to stick to roads and miss the incredible beauty of the walk along the coast. It’s helpful to have the choice. Use the Cicerone guide but also Wikiloc (search for Cantabrico and Del Mar) and you’ll be able to track your way in live time. It helps when the Way is poorly marked!

Thank you for bringing that to my attention. Depending on time I may now make a detour to visit it. Peace.
It is well worth the detour but makes the walk to Cedeira a bit more complex. Several options from Teixido. When we walked last fall we went from Ortigueira to Carino and stayed there before the challenging walk the next day to Teixido.
