      Hike to Playa San Martin via Camino de Santiago

      1.5 mi
      You know those videos you see of people scoring epic waves in picturesque destinations with empty lineups.

      El Camino is one of the most popular treks in the world. While there are a number of different routes you can embark on for this trek, I recommend the Primitivo route as it is a bit more challenging, and has both fewer people and beautiful views. This route technically begins in Villavicosa, but ...
