Stage 2: The Port of Mougás

The Porto de Mougás – Saiáns stage is an adventure waiting to be discovered. Starting in the small village, we follow a quiet road until we reach a dirt track climb. Here, the day's adventure begins.

From here, it's all uphill, where we can enjoy one of the most breathtaking views of the route so far, and we continue on to Baiona. This fishing town, where many people live, is a great place to rest and see the local community.

From here, we can choose which route to take. Whether we go to see the sea, close to the beaches, or if we continue inland. Saiáns is an excellent option to end the day, as the people in this neighborhood are dynamic and hold frequent events where all pilgrims are welcome.

Porto Mougás - Saiáns: Itinerary

A: Mougas Port

The entire route here is close to roads where cars pass every day. That's why you need to be extremely careful. To take your mind off the fact, you can see the curvature of the mountains in the distance, with a lighthouse hidden between them.

B: Cabo Silleiro Lighthouse

Built on a rocky promontory facing the Atlantic, the Cabo Silleiro lighthouse has been guiding sailors since the late 19th century. The detour is short and well worth it for the sweeping views of the ocean and the serenity of the place, where the wind and waves blend with Galicia's maritime heritage.

C: As Illas Cíes Viewpoint

From the viewpoint, you can see the Cíes Islands on the horizon and the expanse of sea that accompanies the route in this area. A recommended stopping point to enjoy the landscape and the transition between the coastline and the ocean.

D: Bayonne

Baiona comes after a steep descent and welcomes us like true explorers. We are greeted by a dynamic town with a population that is on the move and, at the same time, retains its great monuments. With unmissable churches and the monumental Monterreal castle, this port town is ideal for those who are already tired and prefer a less strenuous stage.

E: Saians

Saians is a place to rest for the day. This civilization can be missed if we don't pay attention to the signs that say "Albergue" along the way, as it's a 50-metre detour from the actual road. However, the pilgrim support area is run by the local residents' association, which provides everything you need to rest.
