Climate With a mild climate - atlantic with mediterranean influence - the average annual temperature is 14°C, the average monthly figures during the summer are around 20°C and the average annual humidity is rarely below 70%. Way of St. James The coastal route of the west coast of the Iberian Peninsula of Camino de Santiago - Portuguese Way - is a World Heritage Site and passes through Guilheta. According to medieval tradition, the pilgrims who went to venerate the relics of the apostle Santiago Maior received partial or total remission of the temporal penalty resulting from sins forgiven through confession (indulgence), and could even avoid Purgatory. For many centuries considered to be the westernmost place in the known world and, as such, the End of the World, the Road to Santiago has been popularly associated for centuries with the Milky Way, because it supposedly indicates the way to Santiago de Compostela at night. Since the 1980s the popularity of overcoming the 'Camino' has grown substantially, becoming not only a spiritual but also a cultural itinerary of the first order, being travelled by hundreds of thousands of people all year round, either on foot, by bicycle, on horseback or even by donkey.
