Travel Itinerary
Once you have arrived in Santander and have settled into your accommodation you can enjoy the charms of this coastal city, capital of the region of Cantabria. You can’t miss its famous Sardinero beach as well as its historic quarter where iconic places such as the Cathedral of Santander or the Magdalena Palace stand out. It is also a day to rest, get ready and prepare to live an unforgettable experience in this Camino del Norte, as Santander is a unique place to enjoy a pre-walk day.
You will make your debut as a pilgrim in the most difficult stage of the whole itinerary, not because of the terrain but because of the distance to be covered. Even so, the effort will be more than rewarded by the beauty of the landscapes along the way. In the first part of the stage you will head inland, passing through some villages such as Santa Cruz de Bezana, Mompía and Boo de Piélagos.
In the second part you will enjoy the mountainous landscape of the north coast, where the village of Suances stands out, an ideal place to make a stop before reaching your destination. Once in Santillana del Mar you can enjoy one of the most beautiful villages in Spain. If you have time, it’s worth taking a taxi and making a trip to visit the Altamira caves, declared a World Heritage Site.
This stage runs along sections of the rugged coast of Cantabria. On your way to Comillas you will pass through beautiful villages such as Cobreces, where you will find a beautiful Cistercian monastery. Continuing the stage it crosses landscapes of great beauty such as the natural park of Oyambre, declared of Cultural Interest.
Once in Comillas, you can spend the afternoon visiting its fantastic beaches and strolling through the old town. This town has places of great architectural interest such as the Pontifical University or the Sobrellano Palace.
Today you will leave Cantabria to enter Asturias for the first time. The path runs along the Cantabrian coast, with breathtaking views of the estuaries. This is a somewhat more demanding day due to the distance to be covered, although we will find numerous villages where we can stop to regain strength on our way to Colombres.
Once in the small village of Colombres we recommend taking advantage of the afternoon to enjoy the local gastronomy as well as taking some time to visit its characteristic parietal paintings.
This stage offers two alternatives to reach Llanes: the coastal route that will allow you to visit the famous Bufones de Arenillas, while the “original” route will lead you inland, with slight ascents and descents along the Sierra de Borbolla. Both roads converge a few kilometres before reaching the end of the stage.
Llanes is a small town on the Asturian coast that was once dedicated exclusively to fishing and has now seen a development of its tourism sector. Its enclave between the coast and the Picos de Europa make it a very beautiful village worth visiting.
The stage begins along the coast crossing places of great beauty such as the beaches of Palombina and Barro. From here you will start a slight ascent that will take you to the Church of San Pedro de Pría, where you will enjoy wonderful views of the local villages.
You will finish your stage in Ribadesella, a town known for the famous descent of the Sella river by canoe. A lively village that has all the services to relax and have fun.
This is the end of your section of the Camino del Norte from Santander to Ribadesella. Remember that you can add as many extra nights as you wish to your trip and enjoy the beautiful town of Ribadesella. You won’t be able to resist the descent!
