This route between the towns of Betanzos and Ortigueira takes us to the northern part of Galicia. Those who have visited this region before know that it offers a multitude and variety of attractions. Its natural beauty, its monuments and its traditions will provide some unforgettable memories to those who choose to spend a few days’ rest here.
Throughout our route we will journey within the limits of the province of A Coruña, mostly along the coastline, but with a few trips inland. The characteristic landscape is a fusion of sea and mountain. The coastline offers numerous stunning beaches, to suit all tastes. Some are charming, sheltered coves, protected from the waves by the estuaries, but there are also others that are wild and open, at the mercy of the ocean's battering waves. The relief of the A Faladoira and A Capelada mountain ranges gives this area its beauty, but it also makes for a difficult terrain to move through. There are even altitudes of over 500 m right beside the sea, providing the coastline with some spectacular cliffs.
