A couple of people have said that the walking is very challenging. What was your experience? Thank you for posting.I've only explored bits of that route (visiting places along it rather than walking it). However, here's a website with good info on the route:
http://www.caminodosfaros.com/
I've had a few people telling me about their walk of it and sending me photos and notes. It sounds like a nice route. It is on my list...
I think that in this case "dos" means "of the" and not two, because it's in Gallego, and "de" changes to "do", and presumably "dos" is the plural form.It's called the Camino Dos Faros (Camino of the Two Lighthouses) though there are more than twoT
There is NO pilgrim style accomodation as this is not a pilgrimage route. My girlfriend and I are doing this next week and will be able to provide you with any info you want when/if (!) we finish.Has anyone in this group walked the Camino dos Faros? If so, how well waymarked is it, any pilgrim-style accommodation, did you meet anyone else and what time of year were you there?
Exactly!I think that in this case "dos" means "of the" and not two, because it's in Gallego, and "de" changes to "do", and presumably "dos" is the plural form.

Yes I walked it in Sept 2016. It's called the Camino Dos Faros (Camino of the Two Lighthouses) though there are more than twoThe first two stages are challenging, but well worth the effort. I saw only 2 others (locals) on 2 stages of the route while walking. There is little in the way of traditional accommodation and I stayed in small guest houses and hotels. Very good meals along the route. The scenery is stunning and you walk almost exclusively along the coast. You can expect many steep headland ups and downs and you'll walk across countless beaches that are just beautiful with huge waves often rolling in. For sure it is a hike, not a camino. The way is well marked with green dots, foot prints and arrows. A wonderful experience and you won't be disappointed!! You can PM me if you want more information. Geoff
Geoff, did you stay in Ninos and Arou which are shown as two of the stage ends? If so, would you advise some info on the accommodation please. ThanksYes I walked it in Sept 2016.

Hope you dont mind me butting in but I've just completed this Camino a couple of weeks ago. There is NO accomodation at either place so you need to get a taxi (approx €10) to either your starting point for that day or to your destination the following day. You arrange a taxi then to bring you back to where you finished your walk and simply pick it up again. We taxied from Playa de Nińons back to Malpica and the following day the taxi dropped us back to Nińons where we resumed walking and brought our luggage to our prebooked accomodation in Ponteceso. We likewise spent 2 nights in Camarińas. These were the only times we had to use taxis as there is lodging at the other stops.Geoff, did you stay in Ninos and Arou which are shown as two of the stage ends?
