Vilianova de Aroursa to Pontecesures

Boat ride to Pontecesures (from “Amare Turismo Náutico” web site):

This route Xacobea Del Mar De Arousa Y Río Ulla is also known as La Traslatio, the name given to the transfer of the remains of the Apostol Santiago from Jerusalem to Santiago De Compostela.

At the beginning of the route, we see mussel rafts, wooden platforms on which this precious mollusk is grown.

Continuing our journey we find the Brinas Islands, the Malveiras and the Cortegada Island, islands belonging to the Atlantic Islands National Park, where some of the 17 cruceiros are located that form a unique Maritime River Way of the Cross world to Pontecesures.

We will see the first crossings and then we will enter the waters of the Ulla River. We will pass through the towns of Bamio, Catoira, Valga and Dodro until we reach Pontecesures.

During the rest of the journey we will observe the rest of the Cruceiros, the Catoira Towers and the Viking ships accompanied throughout our route by incredible landscapes and nature.

A route in which the tranquility and a landscape that seems to be from medieval times will make us arrive full of strength to face our last stage of the Camino de Santiago.Read more
