Camino A Orixe

When the remains of the Apostle James, accompanied by his faithful followers Athanasius and Theodore, arrived in Galicia, they entered through the Arousa estuary.

It is thought that the boat had to sail along the northern part of that estuary to avoid the island of Arousa.

This route runs through those towns: starting from Ribeira, it follows the coast through Pobra do Caramiñal, Boiro, Rianxo and Dodro, then continues through Teo (O Milladoiro) to Santiago de Compostela.
