There are many variants to date of the Camino de Santiago but few or none are as original as the one we suggest – an unforgettable two-stage trip by kayak along the Ria de Arousa and the river Ulla from Vilanova de Arousa to Pontecesures following the Traslatio (the journey followed by the remains of Saint James the Apostle, from Jerusalem to Galicia) and going up the Ria de Arousa in a fun and active way.
On the kayak journey you’ll enjoy unique scenery, idyllic beaches, islands that seem to float in the middle of the sea, and even a riverine Vía Crucis, one of a kind in the world marking the journey taken by the body of the Apostle, according to legend, in a stone boat to Iria Flavia, spot where the Spiritual Variant re-joins the Portuguese Route.
