Ortegal Icons Route – Costa Ártabra
The route starts in Ortigueira, by the estuary, in a quieter setting that works as a calm starting point before opening up towards the coast. From there, the route heads to **Cape Ortegal**, where the landscape shifts completely: cliffs, wind and a clear sense of standing at the edge of the territory. The journey then continues to **Cedeira**, a lively coastal town, perfect for a break, a walk or a meal. The route reaches its peak at **San Andrés de Teixido**, one of the most special places in Galicia, where landscape and tradition come together against the cliffs of the Serra da Capelada. It's a well-balanced route, easy to follow, with well-connected stops — perfect for capturing the essence of the Costa Ártabra in a single day.

Granja Labrada Tips

Start in Ortigueira and let the landscape build up gradually. If you do it in reverse, you'll see the same places — but not in the same emotional order.
