What makes a Camino "the most beautiful"?
The beauty of a Camino can depend on many factors:
Natural landscapes: From mountains and forests to beaches and rivers.
Cultural heritage: Churches, monasteries and charming villages.
Personal experience: The emotional connection you feel as you walk through it.
That said, there are two routes that stand out for their spectacular nature: the French Way from Sarria and the Portuguese Way along the coast from Baiona. Let's explore them.
The French Way from Sarria
This is one of the most popular and recommended routes, especially if it's your first time doing the Camino. Why is that? Here I tell you why:
Enchanting green landscapes: Galicia welcomes you with rolling hills, magical forests and picturesque villages.
Perfect distance: From Sarria to Santiago is 114 km, just enough to obtain the Compostela (pilgrim's certificate).
History at every step: You cross medieval bridges, visit historic churches and immerse yourself in centuries of tradition.
The Portuguese Way along the coast from Baiona
If you love the sea, this route will steal your heart. Starting from Baiona, you will travel 124 km full of spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Beaches and cliffs: You will walk by the sea with landscapes that look like something out of a postcard.
Portuguese and Galician charm: It combines the best of both countries. Baiona, for example, is a perfect place to start with its historic old town and fortress by the sea.
Less crowded: If you are looking for peace and quiet, this route is ideal.
Which one to choose?
Both Caminos have their magic. If you prefer green landscapes, history and tradition, choose the French Way from Sarria. If you love the sea and want something different, choose the Portuguese Way along the coast from Baiona.
