This is rather short leg. But we aim round Cape Finisterre, fortunately having enough time to catch exactly the weather that we want to have. Because we know what to xplore both before, and after.
Aruza and Portosino
Aruza is our first bay in Galicia on this stage. Numerous coves, islands, and beaches. Town of Ribeira, or Pobra do Caramiñal with its waterfalls and natural pools are both worth visiting. But maybe we’ll go directly to the next bay of Portosino?
Finisterre
Our next task is to circle Cape Finisterre, in Spanish it literally means: ‘The End of the Earth’. It has legendary reputation of harsh weather conditions. That’s why this stage, being very short, is still not too too easy.
Entering the Bay of Biscay
After Finisterre, one possible stopping point is the town of Muxía. On the cape next to it are a big church, a sculpture, the lighthouse against a blue sky and the wild Atlantic coast made for dramatic scenery.
After Muxía, we head to the east, enter the Bay of Biscay and approach the final point of the stage, A Coruña: one of Spain's most important ports, laying on a peninsula connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus, and very rich in history of the Iberian Peninsula.
