The Route through A Armada is a short but powerful path that overlaps with the entrance of the Camino de Santiago into the municipality of Cee. It offers one of the most memorable views in Costa da Morte—the very first sight of the Atlantic Ocean and Cape Fisterra for pilgrims on their way to the “end of the world”.
The route begins at the Chapel of San Pedro Mártir, in the parish of Pereiriña, and ascends to the Alto da Armada, where a prominent stone cross (cruceiro) marks a key high point of the journey. From there, it descends into As Campas, part of the Brens parish, blending tradition, natural beauty and industrial heritage.
The Route through A Armada is signposted along the official Camino de Santiago trail. It’s perfect for those seeking a brief yet meaningful walk, culminating in a stunning natural balcony that reveals the sea for the first time. Nearby you’ll find the Virxe da Xunqueira Hospital, Cee’s commercial area, and local services.
