The Walk

From Cabo de Cruz to punta do Chazo
The most seafaring side of Boiro

A sea-flavoured route that in just over 3 km combines stretches of asphalt with wooden walkways, cobblestone paths and trails.

From the old pier of Cabo de Cruz, where we can see traditional fishing boats, we head towards praia da Ribeira Grande, passing through colourful seaside neighbourhoods. Before moving to praia de Piñeirón we can see at the end a calvary-chapel on the rocks, which is part of the Jacobean sea route. Then we reach praia de Carragueiros with its dune cordon. At its end, the Pena Roiba with the illotes dos Baos and Bensa leads to praia da Retorta, next to an aquaculture park. Here the walk becomes a path that soon leads us to punta do Chazo with the small chapel of Virxe do Carme, where the tour ends.
