Traslatio: The Road through the Arousa Sea

Surely you know one of the best known pilgrimage roads in the world: The Camino de Santiago. Come and perform some of its stages by the sea of ​​Arousa.

The Camino and the Traslatio Route

La Traslatio is a sea pilgrimage route that we will travel by kayak along the north coast of the Ría de Arousa, from Aguiño to Padrón. We will follow the only Fluvial Viacrucis in the world, which recalls the arrival of the Apostle Santiago to Padrón, where we will undertake two stages on foot to Santiago de Compostela, joining the Portuguese road.

Arousa estuary

The Ría de Arousa is a place that hides magical corners and a spectacular landscape. To know in depth the estuary we propose the activity of the Ría de Arousa on a speedboat route, visiting the main islets and discovering the secrets of the fishing arts.

Among the places you will encounter: the town of Boiro, the island of A Toxa grande and A Toxa chica, the Capilla das Cunchas, the island O Areoso or the port of O Grove, among others.
