Vilanova de Arousa → Padrón (boat + walking)

12 km
5 hours
Flat

The most special stage of the Spiritual Way. It begins with a traditional boat journey along the Arousa estuary and the Ulla river, recreating the Traslatio — the legendary voyage of the Apostle James body from Palestine to Galicia. The navigation takes about 3 hours and is a thrilling experience. Upon disembarking at Pontecesures, you walk 12 flat km to Padrón, where tradition places the stone (pedrón) to which the apostolic boat was moored.
