🐚 Camino de Santiago

English Way: Atlantic forests almost nobody walks.

The Camino of those who came by sea. It starts in Ferrol—a natural harbor—and heads south toward Santiago through rivers, forests, and villages where you'll barely cross paths with another soul. It's short, peaceful, and incredibly green. Galicia's best-kept secret.
