The Magic of a Special Place

Depending on your interests, discover the attractions Galicia offers you in its Rías Baixas. You have to choose…

FOR THE PILGRIMS…

In recent years the Portuguese Way has been gaining more influx, especially in those pilgrims who want to do 100 km but on a route that is not as congested as the French Way. If you are one of these pilgrims, As Chivas is your best option in Redondela.

Many of our pilgrims walk to our Rural House, because we are only 1Km on the route to Arcade. But if you prefer to stop and resume your Camino the next day, As Chivas offers you a very economical transfer, round trip to the collection point, either from Redondela or Arcade. Good way!

Now, FOR THOSE IN LOVE WITH THE SEA…

You will find hidden treasures throughout the Rías Baixas, among which the Cíes Islands stand out in the first place or also called by the ancient Romans “The Islands of the Gods”, just 16 km away. To get to them you must take a ferry from Vigo or Cangas and book in advance.
