A Guarda to Castro de Santa Trega - circular by Monte Santa Trega

Intermediate hike of 12km, desnivel 320m, walking time 3hours 30minutes + stops. The walk covers a veriety of surfaces, about 3km of which is on streets and roads, the rest on hiking paths and footpaths. A lot of it is by the sea as we will be on a peninsula. No rain is forecast, but it will be cold (maximum tempetature 8C), so make sure you wear something warm, and, as always, good hiking shoes/boots, because there is a bit of a climb at Monte Santa Trega. Bastones many be useful. Bring food and water too, it is quite a long walk, and we will stop about halfway for lunch. This will be an excellent walk to start 2026 and lose some of that extra end of year weight! No special skills needed, but good fitness needed. For those not in a hurry there will be the opportunity for a drink in A Guarda at the end. Meet at the Cafe Bar O Xardin.
