September 23, 2024,CdF 24/5. Laxe - Camelle

It was beautiful today and not strenuous, a few scrambles, a lot of easy walking, great views and all garnished with sunshine.
What more could a hiker want?
In Laxe I had a good breakfast in the hotel and took photos of the sunrise 😉, then I took a leisurely walk to the lighthouse and always along the coast.

May 18, 2023,O Camiño dos Faros: Etapa 4 (Laxe-Arou)

Today we bid farewell to Laxe and set our sights on Arou beach, our destination. Right from the start, we encountered a poignant and captivating moment just a few meters away from the Laxe lighthouse. There, a statue of a woman, clutching a baby in her arms, stood silently, representing the enduring wait for her man who had been swallowed …

September 19, 2023,Camiño dos Faros, Tag 2

Today, on the second day of our hike together, we went from Laxe over 18.2 kilometers and 518 meters in altitude to Arou. There were hardly any opportunities to take a break in the shade and the paths were sometimes very steep or rolling or both. But the views and the sea made up for it.
Unfortunately we didn't manage …
