Our pilgrimage to the tomb of the apostle along the Camino de Santiago, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and a European Cultural Route by the Council of Europe, begins in the southern Rías Baixas, in the historic town of Baiona. It was here that the arrival of the caravel La Pinta on March 1, 1493, brought news of the Discovery of America. Protected from the open sea by a beautiful bay lies the Monterreal peninsula, where the Parador awaits you within its walled fortress. A paradise for savoring fresh fish and seafood. From there, you'll enjoy breathtaking sunsets with the Cíes Islands in the distance, inviting you to explore their cliffs, beaches, dunes, seabed, and pristine trails. Within the walled enclosure is the Royal Yacht Club of Baiona, where you can sail and enjoy nautical tourism. You can't leave Baiona without taking a tour of Monte do Boi and Serra da Groba, from which the Rías Baixas look like a sober and colorful watercolor, without seeing the sunset at Cabo Silleiro, without visiting the viewpoint of the Virgin of Roca or without wandering through its splendid old town and its seafront promenade.
Day 2
Monday
Crossing rias and estuaries—a visit to Vigo along the way is well worth it to stroll through the Old Town and enjoy some oysters at the A Pedra market—we reach Pontevedra, whose elegant and well-preserved old town is home to the Renaissance palace that houses the Parador hotel. The Basilica of Santa María la Mayor, a jewel of Gothic architecture, and the Church of the Pilgrim Virgin, a chapel with a scallop-shaped floor plan, are also of interest. The Pontevedra Museum, with its collection spread across five stately buildings, is also worth a visit. A few kilometers from the city, the Rías Baixas open onto the Atlantic, where you can enjoy fantastic sunsets at places like La Toja Island, urban beaches such as Silgar in Sanxenxo, or vast golden stretches of sand like A Lanzada. A visit to nearby towns like El Crove and Combarro, with their picturesque centuries-old granaries, is also recommended. In February and March, the Camellia Route is scheduled through the different monasteries and manor houses in the area.
Day 3

Santiago is a World Heritage City and offers travelers countless places to visit. The Plaza del Obradoiro with its beautiful Cathedral, the Plaza de la Universidad, its streets where you can experience the vibrant life of its inhabitants, palaces and churches, or museums such as the Cathedral Museum, the Museum of the Galician People, or the Galician Center for Contemporary Art. A truly captivating city.
