El Caminho da Geira e dos Arrieiros une Braga con Santiago cruzando el Parque Nacional Peneda-Gerês. Su primer tramo sigue la vía romana Geira (XVIII) y el segundo, la ruta de los arrieiros que comerciaban con Ribadavia.

Es el más salvaje y menos masificado, con naturaleza casi virgen y fuerte poso histórico romano; exige más autonomía del peregrino. La Catedral de Santiago certificó la ruta para la Compostela en 2019.

Who it's for

Para montañeros y amantes de la naturaleza y la historia romana.
