25 ships... all of them sailing boats... will take on Monday, July 4, from Baiona a sea pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela with different stages that will pass through Commud, Rianxo, A Pobra do Caramiñal, Muros and Portosín.

This is the second edition of the Rías Baixas Route, a tourist-sports initiative of a playful character that seeks to disseminate the marine culture, promote nautical tourism, promote the sport of the sailing and make known the potentialities of the Galician ports.

The crews will leave Baiona, from the pants of Mount Real, on the morning of Monday 4 July to Commud, with 30 miles away ahead. On Tuesday day 5 they will complete the 32 miles that separate Commud from Rianxo; and on Wednesday day 6 they will have as their final destination A Pobra do Caramiñal.

They will always be accompanied by two support boats and a mother ship, and Muros and Portosin will be the last two ports in program, to make the last scale and complete the pilgrimage by sea. From Portosin it will only be left to take the road to Compostela, this time by land, to be able to win the Jubilee, something they will do on Saturday, July 9.

With the almost 120 miles by sea, the participants will have the possibility, if they so wish, of getting the Compostel, for which a minimum of 90 nautical miles is required, sealing at every step their credential of pilgrims.
