What remains are mostly foundation walls and earthworks, but the elevated position offers good views over the surrounding dunes and shoreline. A small chapel sits at the hilltop. Castros like this one dot the entire northwestern Iberian coast -- fortified settlements built by Celtic peoples well before the Romans arrived.
The camino leaves the familiar beach setting but follows close to the shore while it climbs to reach the chapel and castro of San Paio. From here follow the walkway along the dunes to reach Facho - Vila Chã.
