In this site you can find all the routes to either Laxe or nearby towns like Baio.

Some stages are easier than others. Difficulty ranges from Low to High based on the elevation and length of the stage.
We have designed our program, so the most difficult stages can be done in two days or in weekend days, so you can fit some working hours throughout.
That being said, this hiking route is not just a walk. Similar to other routes in the region such as Camino de Santiago, some stages take 6-7 hours to complete on consecutive days, so a certain level of fitness is required.
Our program is self-guided, but guides can be booked if needed and agreed by the group.
This would be charged outside the program.
Yes, of course, if there are rooms available you are welcome to stay longer after the retreat, and you will enjoy a 30% discount for the rest of your stay.

Even after watching the amazing pictures on the website, you would still be surprised when you get there…the design that makes you feel calm, happy, laid back and focused, the vibe, the community, Julio and Ines, just elevate the experience. I have been there for a month and surely know that I will come back. Close to this place you would find beautiful beaches, charming forest and a town with the best seafood ever.
