オクシデンタルのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Scenically beautiful Negreira is the main town of the municipality of the same name (Concello) in the province of A Coruña, in the autonomous community of Galicia. 🤙

Santa Maria des Areas. It is a beautiful church from the 12th century. The essential thing to know is that every day at 6 pm there is the Holy Mass of the pilgrim with a special and suggestive blessing.

Fascinating medieval bridge with a nearby watermill that can be visited.

Everything ends here, at the end of the world

It's almost time for the ocean

The way to the summit is a bit sweaty, but easy to walk in shorts and well signposted. You reach the summit in about 70 minutes. With the knowledge I have now gained after the tour I have just completed, I would now take the same route back. The way back - as others have already written - quickly becomes very thorny (gorse and blackberries) and the path becomes increasingly narrow. You are bound to get caught on the thorns all the time. It was a pretty bloody affair in shorts. In addition, shortly after leaving the summit, a thick cloud of fog rolled in from the sea and swallowed the mountain. With the cloud came heavy, constant drizzle. I was completely soaked in no time - from above and from the sides due to contact with the vegetation. All of this made the way back feel four times longer than the ascent and was then simply no longer fun. What the rain also showed: good hiking boots are absolutely essential. The rocks then become quite slippery in places. The climb was in mid-August, starting at around 10 a.m. (it is highly recommended to start early, as it is almost always cloudy/foggy in the afternoon) at 20 degrees.

It is famous for being the place that, according to tradition, houses the tomb of the Apostle Santiago, making it one of the main pilgrimage destinations in Europe through the Camino de Santiago. The building is a mix of architectural styles including Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque. The Obradoiro façade is particularly impressive and is one of the most recognizable symbols of the cathedral. In addition, the cathedral features the famous Botafumeiro, a huge censer used during certain liturgical celebrations.
