Discover Sanxenxo

Sanxenxo (Sangenjo), known as the capital of tourism in the Rías Baixas, is one of the busiest stops on the Route of Father Sarmiento, the coastal variant of the Camino Portugués. This town offers pilgrims a vibrant contrast with more rural stages, immersing them in a summer and leisure atmosphere. Its main attraction are its over 30 fine-sand beaches, including the famous urban beach of Silgar as a symbol. For walkers, arriving at Sanxenxo is an opportunity to enjoy a refreshing bath in the Atlantic, stroll along its bustling waterfront promenade, and savor the excellent seafood cuisine in its marina. Although it's a modern town, its maritime essence is preserved in the port and local traditions. In the context of pilgrimage, Sanxenxo is a stage for rest, socialization, and enjoyment, combining the beauty of Galician coastal scenery with the energy of one of Spain's most important vacation destinations. It's an experience with a flavor of salt and sun.
