I'm crossing over in mid June, on a Friday
..are there likely to be options?
Lovely! Thank you!The water taxi still operates from the cafe by the jetty. It only goes to the other side of the river so you'll have a couple of miles walk at the other side to get to A Guarda.
I'll be crossing in a couple of days, it would be nice not to have to detour 25km to stay on the coast. The last time I crossed here was 5 years ago, was official ferry. Water taxi you say, is thIs a local person offering service, does it depend on tides do you know?The water taxi still operates from the cafe by the jetty.

And hope not you get a Normandian style welcome at the Spanish side.Hopefully they'll be keeping the channel dredged - 50m out after "setting sail" from Portugal and we hit a sand bank!
Thanks, I took Xacobeo Transfer and it is a perfect way to go to A Guarda. and a very ecological idea.Good news for pilgrims coming up the coast. The iffy service of the Santa Rita has been replaced by a new agreement between Galicia and Portugal, called Xacobeo Transfer.
There are now two new boats to ferry pilgrims and locals from one country to another, and starting in July one of them will be electric which I imagine will make for a nice quiet ride. The service is daily, so Monday pilgrims can now cross too!
This will make onward pilgrimage via Mougas, Bayona, and Vigo much more reliable. The service is 6€ and takes 20 minutes. Bookable online here:
We will have two bicycles with us. Do you allow bikes? And do you suggest booking ahead for a Camino trip in September?Good news for pilgrims coming up the coast. The iffy service of the Santa Rita has been replaced by a new agreement between Galicia and Portugal, called Xacobeo Transfer.

As far as I can understand the ferry Santa Rita ( o Transbordador ) does not exist anymore for some reasons. Initially some fishermen could set you over on demand and now I think somebody ( maybe a fisherman ? ) bought a new boat and set you over on demand .Hello - I wonder if someone can help... I might be missing something obvious.
Does the new ferry only run once a day at 10:00 (Spanish time) or does it simply start at 10:00?
I'm planning ahead for my walking group so I need to be sure.
Many thanks
Thank you so much for the helpful replyThe route was quite busy until it joined the central route, then very busy, several pilgrims told me that the had problems booking accommodation, especially near Santiago
No problems booking and paying for the boat on line.
Bon Camino
