Travel Itinerary
Once you have settled into your accommodation you will be able to enjoy the charms of the modern city of Bilbao. You can’t miss its famous contemporary art museum: the Guggenheim Museum, as well as its cobbled streets and the wide range of local cuisine, with its famous “pintxos” as the star dish.
You will wake up in Bilbao from where you will start your first stage of the Northern Way. The first part of the route is marked by the outlying industrial areas that you will have to cross until you get back to nature on the way to Portugalete. The highlight of this stage will come when you cross the Nervión River over its famous Hanging Bridge, also known as the Palace Bridge.
Once in Portugalete we recommend visiting, among other tourist attractions, the Basilica of Santa María, the Salazar Tower, the Iron Wharf and the Old Quarter.
This stage alternates stretches along the coast with inland stretches in which you will travel along the old roads used in the past for the extraction of iron from the local mines. For the first time the route enters the province of Cantabria where, after several ascents and descents, you will reach the beautiful town of Castro Urdiales.
Here you can visit the Castle-Lighthouse of Castro Urdiales, the Church of Santa María de la Asunción, the Lighthouse of the Castle of Santa Ana, the Medieval Bridge, the Beach of Ostende and the Port.
As in the previous stage, you will find slight ascents and descents that at no time will exceed 200 meters above sea level. The highest point is in Lugarejos.
Laredo stands out for being the place where the Coniscos, an ancient Cantabrian tribe, lived. It is also worth taking a stroll through the old town also known as Puebla antigua de Laredo to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and gastronomy of this Cantabrian town.
Leaving Laredo behind, the stage passes through places of great natural beauty such as the marshes of Santoña or the beach of Berría. For those of you who enjoy this route in summer you will have the chance to cross the Santoña estuary by boat, while if you choose to do it in winter you will have to take the inland route or public transport. In any case, you can’t miss their famous anchovies.
In the last kilometres of the stage you will travel along the coast until you reach the centre of Noja, a small coastal town where we recommend you visit the Torre de los Velasco, the Molino de Victoria and the Palacio Torre del Carmen.
You will leave Noja to begin a series of ascents and descents towards the village of Somo. During the route you will pass through villages like Arnuero and emblematic places like the mill of Bareyo. Once in Somo there are several options to cross the bay of Santander and reach the city. The most popular and recommended option is to take a boat from the Muelle de la Pedreña.
You will disembark next to the Pereda gardens, in the heart of the city centre. In Santander you can’t miss the famous Sardinero beach, the cathedral and the old town. On the other hand, we recommend that you take advantage of the afternoon to enjoy the local gastronomic offer, whose star dishes are cocido montañés and rabas.
Congratulations! You have finished the second section of the Camino del Norte from Bilbao to Santander. Remember that you can add as many nights as you want and extend your stay in Santander. There is a lot to see!
After leaving the lodge, end of our services.
