Stage of the Camino
Stage Description
Continuing along the spectacular Galician coast, this stage takes the pilgrim from the tranquility of Oia to the historic and lively town of Baiona. The route continues combining coastal trails with paths that slightly venture into the interior, through forests and small villages. Atlantic and Cíes Islands views in the horizon are a constant. Arrival at Baiona is an important milestone. This village, the first in Europe to receive news of the Discovery of America, has an impressive Parador-fortress on Monterreal peninsula and a charming old town, offering a final stage full of history and beauty.
The stage connecting Oia with Baiona is still offering the beauty of the Rías Baixas coastline. The road, although in some sections it diverges from the first line of coast to avoid the main highway, continues to provide spectacular views of the ocean.
The alternative route alternates between dirt paths and asphalt sections on secondary roads. It crosses a transition landscape, with areas of cliffs, small coves, and more rural sections inside. As the road approaches Baiona, it becomes possible to see clearly the Cíes Islands, which form part of the Atlantic Islands National Park.
Arrival in Baiona is a special moment. The village welcomes the pilgrim with its beautiful waterfront promenade and its marina. Baiona is a town with immense historical importance, as it was here where the caravel La Pinta docked in 1493, becoming the first European port to learn about the Discovery of America. A replica of the caravel can be visited at the marina.
The main attraction of Baiona is the Monterreal Peninsula, surrounded by an imposing wall and currently occupied by the Turismo Parador. It is highly recommended to walk around the wall's promenade, which offers spectacular views of the bay and the Cíes. The old town of Baiona, with its narrow streets and arches, is the perfect place to enjoy local cuisine.
