Manuel Antonio Villar invites you to discover the A Orixe Way of St. James

Manuel Antonio Villar, president of the Association of Friends of the A Orixe Way of St. James, introduces this 132-kilometre pilgrimage route in the video. Starting in Corrubedo, in the municipality of Ribeira, it leads to Santiago de Compostela. From the parish of San Pedro de Palmeira, 100 kilometres from the destination, he invites us to explore this route along the northern shore of the Arousa estuary.

The A Orixe Way keeps alive the tradition that the remains of the Apostle Saint James arrived via the Arousa estuary and were taken to Padrón. Bringing together history, heritage, nature and spirituality, the route offers pilgrims a different way to reach Santiago de Compostela, following a tradition deeply rooted in Galicia.
