This guidebook explores the Camino dos Faros (the Way of the
Lighthouses), a 200km hike around the remote northwest corner of
Spain. Starting in the old whaling town of Malpica and ending in
Fisterra (Spain's Land's End), the eight day hike along the Costa
da Morte follows a path that sticks limpet-like to the Atlantic
coast. It's a spectacular walk along dramatic cliffs and around
deep, verdant river estuaries, exploring the rich Galician culture
and history. With stages between 18 and 29km per day, this is a
hike suitable for walkers willing to undertake reasonably long days
and the occasional scramble up and down beach paths. The guide
provides in-depth descriptions of the route alongside clear mapping
to aid navigation. It includes practical information for both
before and during your trip, and details about wildlife and
historic sites along the walk. In the back of the guide are a
series of appendices listing accommodation, main Galician
festivals, and useful contacts. The Camino dos Faros follows the
wild coast of the Costa da Morte, which is battered by storms
racing in from the Atlantic. For shipping it is one of the world's
most dangerous coastlines and its ominous name meaning 'the coast
of death' is well deserved. 'Dos Faros' refers to a series of
beautifully located lighthouses that attempt to warn sailors of the
perils that await them. The sea has shaped the landscape and the
Galician culture, and the locally caught seafood including razor
clams and percebes should not be missed.
