The route leads us to the elegant coastal town of Baiona, located in the heart of the Rías Baixas, which are highly regarded by gourmets for its excellent white wine, Albariño, and the wonderful seafood. From Baiona we continue to Vigo, past the beautiful islands "Islas Cíes". In Redondela, the route meets the classic "Portuguese Way of St. James" and leads through the historic city of Pontevedra, the spa town of Caldas de Reis, and Padrón to Santiago de Compostela.
