Brilliant two weeks in Galicia

We walked the Lighthouse Way in Galicia over a period of 2 weeks with 9 days of walking. On Foot Holidays were able to accommodate our wish to spread the walk over an extended period to allow us more time to complete the 200 kilometres. We had fantastic weather, fantastic food and fantastic accommodation. The organisation by On Foot was faultless. The maps and route notes were comprehensive and a pleasure to use. (I love maps).

We had fantastic weather, fantastic food and fantastic accommodation. The organisation by On Foot was faultless. The maps and route notes were comprehensive and a pleasure to use. (I love maps). The taxis and luggage transfers were spot on and the support from On Foot's local representative was really helpful and encouraging. A brilliant walk, amazing scenery, lovely beaches for swimming and hospitable hosts.

Outstanding customer service in the lead up to our holiday, all enquiries dealt with by knowledgeable and friendly staff. The service during the holiday was brilliant. The local contact, Aznar, was in touch with us every day ensuring that our experience was of the highest quality. Accommodation was fantastic, superb quality and staffed by friendly and professional people. Taxis were on time and were top quality vehicles. I cannot speak highly enough of the service we received. We will definitely use On Foot again.

Lighthouses in Galicia

Six amazing days of hiking along the Galician coast. We loved every minute of our walking holiday to the end of the world, hiking over ridges, through forests, and remote country villages as we discovered endless beautiful secluded beaches along the stunning Atlantic coast.

A fantastic holiday from start to finish. We were beautifully looked after at every step.

We walked the Lighthouse Way in Galicia. On Foot talked us through the route, and suggested changes to suit our needs. The route and accommodation exceeded our expectations, and the local guide Aznar was very helpful with advice and sorting any issues that arose.

Great route and interesting local accommodation that was friendly and comfortable. We were in lovely places we'd never have found ourselves. Our local guide Aznar was a star with excellent advice and prompt help when required.

Fabulous trip

We walked the Lighthouse Way with On Foot. Everything, from the accommodation and hosts, luggage pickups, route plans and GPS was well organised and excellent. Food also excellent and we got some great recommendations for places to eat. It meant we could focus on the gorgeous walk, safe in the knowledge that everything else was taken care of.

Wonderful Walk on the Camino dos Faros

A truly great walk along the Galician coast from Laxe to Finisterra. Beautiful wild flowers in late May. On Foot lodging selection was great and their local representative, Aznar, was always available to assist.

Galicia's Lighthouse Way

Five female friends in our 60's hiked the 10 day itinerary of the Lighthouse Way. This is an existing route established about 10 years ago. The path followed the undulating northwestern coast of Spain's Galicia region. The route follows the coast and is well marked with small green dots and arrows. We hiked from 9-14 miles (14 - 24 km) daily. The route was along sea cliffs with the waves crashing below. It crossed a dozen almost deserted white ...

Five female friends in our 60's hiked the 10 day itinerary of the Lighthouse Way. This is an existing route established about 10 years ago. The path followed the undulating northwestern coast of Spain's Galicia region. The route follows the coast and is well marked with small green dots and arrows. We hiked from 9-14 miles (14 - 24 km) daily. The route was along sea cliffs with the waves crashing below. It crossed a dozen almost deserted white sand beaches, with us stopping often to swim or nap. Many times we were hiking up mountains along the coast to windmill farms or at sea level walking along flat paths through the woods. The weather was fabulous with a breeze off the ocean. Our final day had rain. We passed through tiny hamlets, fishing villages and small towns. We visited numerous light houses along the way and stayed in an old lighthouse on the last day. All of the lodging choices we amazing small bed and breakfasts, country inns or small family run hotels. The meals were fabulous with about1/3 of them supplied by our hosts. The local Onfoot contact Aznar kept and eye on us checking in daily and arranging taxi transfers or suggesting dining options. This is one of the best vacations I didn't have to plan myself. I would do another trip with Onfoot in a heartbeat!

Onfoot always responded to our emails very promptly. They answered all of our questions very thoroughly and were very personable. They were patient with us when we were slow to submit required information. They way the trips are designed, the routes, the lodging choices, the restaurant suggestions, the luggage transport, and the local contact were all spot on. We felt well taken care of but not pampered. The maps and route notes were outstanding and arrived in time for us to review them before the trip. Everyone was very kind and helpful especially our local contact who checked in on us including one hiker who got sick.

I returned a couple of weeks ago from a perfect holiday walking the Camino dos Faros. This was one of the best holidays I can recall. Everything went according to plan: the accommodation was excellent and varied; the walking superb throughout. Aznar was the perfect contact, helping me with options of restaurants that could cater for my demanding diet, among other offers of help and advice.. I am vegetarian out of choice, but have to avoid gluten, this combination placing extra demands in an area not frequented by overseas tourists. I can't tell you how therapeutic this route proved to be. I had booked the holiday about two and a half years earlier, and of course, it had to be postponed. The views were superb, with the sound of the sea almost always close at hand. However, the route also involved crossing areas of huge sand dunes and following lengthy river inlets, with local birdlife prolific. Certain species such as the Kentish plover are offered nesting protection. There was also a great variety of wild flowers throughout the route. I came across very few people en route. On Foot Holidays offered short cuts if necessary, with taxi journeys always offered, as some of the days' walking were lengthy. I personally didn't use these alternatives, as I was keen to walk all day every day! This company is thorough, with nothing omitted. I can only urge others to go on their walking holidays. I personally had a few days after the holiday in Santiago de Compostela and then a couple of days in Vigo in order to take a day trip to the Cies Islands. I loved this group of islands, a nature reserve part of the Atlantic Islands National Park, with four well signed hiking trails. Vigo is a vibrant and beautiful city, and of course, Santiago's sights are already well known as the culmination for a number of the Camino routes. I found the sheer numbers a little overwhelming after the relative isolation of the Camino dos Faros, and preferred Vigo in many ways. Thank you On Foot Holidays.

On Foot Holidays omitted nothing from the itinerary. They offered information about travel to the start and end points of the route. The notes accompanying the actual route were thorough, facilitating ease of route finding. Accommodation was varied and always comfortable, with my diet always catered for (not always easy). Aznar, the contact, offered valuable information and often arranged a suitable restaurant for the evening that could cater for me. I will definitely seek out their holidays again. There were alternatives available for those not wishing to do the whole route every day, although I always wanted to complete the full itinerary on offer.

Stunning and challenging coastal walk

We spent 9 days walking The Lighthouse Way over 10 days total. Lots of great prep and information and real time support from the folks at On Foot.
