Stage 3: Ponteceso-Laxe (25,3 Km)

The third stage of the Camiño dos Faros takes us along the entire coast and inland of the Cabana region, ending in Laxe.

The first kilometer of the stage runs along the shoulder of the main road, which we cross at a junction on the right to enter the Ensenada da Insua, and walk through its pine forests to O Curro and Urixeira Beach. From there, the Senda do Anllóns begins, a 3-km walk to O Lodeiro, where we can continue to observe the large number of birds that make their home in the Anllóns River estuary. The route also takes us past some of the old boatyards that still survive today. During the 20th century, many fishing and coastal vessels left the A Telleira shipyards.

At the end of the walk, upon reaching As Grelas, we head inland on a challenging climb along the Ruta do Rego dos Muíños (Munich River Route) to the Castro A Cibda (Cibda Hill Fort) and the Dombate Dolmen, two archaeological gems of the Costa da Morte.

From Dombate, we head back towards the coast, turning off at Fontefría to climb Monte Castelo, the summit of the Camino dos Faros (Lighthouse Trail) at 312 meters. From there, we enjoy the best panoramic views of the Corme and Laxe estuaries.

From this summit, we descend through Canduas toward Area das Vacas Beach, which we don’t reach before taking a junction that leads us along the Costa da Mundiña to Rebordelo Beach, where we recommend a stop.

The last part of the stage takes us to Punta do Cabalo, from where we have panoramic views of the entire Corme and Laxe estuary. From there, we’ll continue along the coast, passing the beautiful Frexufre coído before reaching Laxe, which we’ll reach along its extensive beach to the town square, the end of this third stage of the Camiño dos Faros.
