Walking The Costa da Morte Coastal Trail

[Priscillian]

A Powerpoint is worth a thousand words...Here is a great slideshow of all the beauties near The Little Fox House in Carantoña, Ponte do Porto (between Camarinas and Vimianzo on the map above). If you wanted to hike even part of it I´d be very happy to help you arrange your walk. If you wanted just to chill out at A Caso do Raposito after your Camino but thought you might like to see some of the surrounding area too, I am currently designing some "History and Mystery Tours" by car, also por donativo.
Enjoy...(I do!)

This is the only one I can find but I am sure if you Google Costa Da Morte walking trail you will find all sorts of info. You Tube too. Fundacion Neria have lots of really good information in English.

For anyone wondering about doing this I can give you an enthusiastic review. My sister and I just spent five days walking from Finisterre up the coast. The sights are beautiful, the trails are well marked and the stays are easy to set up.

We walked Finisterre-Lires-Muxia-Carantona the first three days; using the camino markers and then Tracy's markers to her retreat at the Little Fox House. The last two days we walked from the lighthouse north of Camarinas to Camelle and then the next day we did Camelle to Laxe. The walking those last two days was really special. It's almost all along the coast line and for most of each day we were the only people as far as we could see. It's a combination of beach walking, farmer's trails and gravel paths and a bit of asphalt walking around the towns. The place is pristine, untrammeled and authentic.

Tracy/Priscillian was wonderfully helpful; giving us a cozy place to stay, yummy food to eat, sharing her knowledge of the region and dropping us off at the start and picking us up at the end of each day. If you're thinking of spending any extra time in Galicia after you've finished walking your camino this would be a great place to linger.Tracy is a great resource and her Little Fox House retreat is a real gift!

A picture is worth a thousand posts.
Here's what you can expect if you walk this trail...
Over and over again!
(PS Sorry the beach is so crowded.)

And then you come around a point of land and walk into a little fishing village like this...

It's two years later and Galicia and its beautiful coastline are still embedded in my heart.
