🐚 Camino de Santiago

Portuguese Coastal Way: Atlantic beaches and sunsets over the ocean.

The same Portuguese Camino, but hugging the Atlantic coast: beaches, fishing villages, wooden boardwalks over the dunes, and the sound of the sea for days on end. At Redondela it merges with the inland route and they climb together to Santiago.
