The Spiritual Way is a unique variant of the Portuguese Way starting from Pontevedra that combines walking with a boat crossing of the Ría de Arousa, reliving the maritime arrival of the Apostle James's body to the Galician coast.
At 107 km and 4 stages, it includes a 2-hour boat journey through the estuary, disembarking at Pontecesures beside the church where tradition places the landing of the Apostle's remains. From there, pilgrims walk to Padrón and Santiago de Compostela.
It is a deeply spiritual experience connecting pilgrims with the legendary origins of the Camino, combining river landscapes, Albariño vineyards and the maritime essence of the Rías Baixas.
