We invite you to discover a hidden treasure at the gates of Santiago. We will depart from the historic Santa Lucía Hermitage and its stone cross, a site of great tradition. From there, we will be guided by the relaxing murmur of the river, walking along paths that wind through the lush riverside vegetation. Along the way, the rural landscape intertwines with modernity as we pass under the imposing Eixo Viaduct. The route will take us into the heart of Aríns through a tunnel before we begin our return. It is an ideal getaway to enjoy Galician nature.
