Spiritual Alternative Route of the Portuguese Way
This 73-kilometre route offers you an alternative to the Portuguese Way, featuring three stages in which you will discover the O Salnés region. This route stands out for its historical and cultural landscapes and for impressive natural beauty spots.
At the end of the second stage, you will arrive in Vilanova de Arousa. In our municipal district, you will pass by large areas of vineyards on trellises and forests at the foot of the river before reaching the beaches of As Sinas and O Terrón.
