Noia, the "little Compostela", is one of the villages with the greatest historical and monumental load on the Galician coast, and a fundamental stop on the Jacobean route of the Muros-Noia estuary. During the Middle Ages, its port was considered the port of Santiago, through which goods and pilgrims entered who were headed to the capital. This glorious past is reflected in an old medieval town of great beauty, with Gothic churches such as Santa María a Nova, with its collection of gremial cloths, and San Martiño, with its spectacular roseton. For the pilgrim, walking through Noia's streets is a true journey through time. The village is a major center for services, with an animated social life and excellent cuisine, where Noia's berberecho, with Denomination of Origin, is king. The route from here ventures into the interior in search of connection with Santiago. It is an stage that combines the beauty of a ría environment with exceptional artistic heritage, an indispensable cultural milestone.
