Costa da Morte is an ideal region for hiking. The varied and beautiful landscapes, combined with the rich and varied natural, historical and cultural heritage, make the region a very attractive option for hikers, who have a unique opportunity to enjoy everything that Costa da Morte has to offer.

Local municipalities have designed a set of short hiking routes to the most attractive locations, although few of them have been standardised and some others need to be more effectively signposted and promoted.

There are routes that hug the coast so you can enjoy the most spectacular landscapes you could ever imagine, and discover the history of the shipwrecks, lighthouses and the coastal towns along the way. Others follow rivers and streams where you can see the flora and fauna, the waterfalls and watermills, fulling mills, bridges and hydroelectric plants. There are routes that take you to the top of mountains from where you can see incredible views and unique rock formations, such as Os Penedos de Pasarela e Traba or Monte Pindo. And don’t forget the routes where you can discover the region’s historical heritage and see dolmens, hillforts, churches, manor houses and calvaries.

Most of the routes are of low difficulty and are suitable for walkers of all ages at any time of the year.

We’ve selected some that we feel are the most interesting. You can find on the Internet at https://www.visitacostadamorte.com/, in the section “Caminos y Senderos de Costa da Morte”, by the CMAT (Tourist Association of Costa da morte). We’ve taken most of the information about the short routes and published it here. The website has thirty two routes where you can discover the most interesting natural and historical sites in Costa da Morte.

We’ve also included two longer routes of over 50 km, which you can do in several stages: the Camiño dos Faros (lighthouse trail) and the Way of St James of Fisterra and Muxía.
