Wandelgids - Camino dos Faros walking - Cicerone

Productomschrijving: Deze gids verkent de Camiño dos Faros (de Weg van de Vuurtorens), een 200 km lange wandeling rond de afgelegen noordwesthoek van Spanje in Galicië. De route begind in de oude walvisstad Malpica en eindigend in Fisterra (Spanje's Land's End), en volgt de achtdaagse wandeling langs de Costa da Morte, een pad dat rustig aan de Atlantische kust steekt. Het is een spectaculaire wandeling langs dramatische kliffen en rond diepe, groene riviermondingen loopt, waarbij de rijke Galicische cultuur en geschiedenis wordt verkend. Met etappes tussen 18 en 29 km per dag, is dit een wandeling die geschikt is voor wandelaars die redelijk lange dagen willen ondernemen en af en toe een strandwandeling maken.

Engelse omschrijving: This guidebook explores the Camiño dos Faros (the Way of the Lighthouses), a 200km hike around the remote northwest corner of Spain. Starting in the old whaling town of Malpica and ending in Fisterra (Spain's Land's End), the eight day hike along the Costa da Morte follows a path that sticks limpet-like to the Atlantic coast. It's a spectacular walk along dramatic cliffs and around deep, verdant river estuaries, exploring the rich Galician culture and history. With stages between 18 and 29km per day, this is a hike suitable for walkers willing to undertake reasonably long days and the occasional scramble up and down beach paths.

The guide provides in-depth descriptions of the route alongside clear mapping to aid navigation. It includes practical information for both before and during your trip, and details about wildlife and historic sites along the walk. In the back of the guide are a series of appendices listing accommodation, main Galician festivals, and useful contacts.

The Camiño dos Faros follows the wild coast of the Costa da Morte, which is battered by storms racing in from the Atlantic. For shipping it is one of the world's most dangerous coastlines and its ominous name meaning 'the coast of death' is well deserved. 'Dos Faros' refers to a series of beautifully located lighthouses that attempt to warn sailors of the perils that await them. The sea has shaped the landscape and the Galician culture, and the locally caught seafood including razor clams and percebes should not be missed.
