Stage 7. Lezama – Bilbao (11 km)

In our stage today we start from the town of Llanes and head to the famous town of Ribadesella, sure that even if you have never been there, it sounds familiar to you. Ribadesella is famous for its famous festival of the descent of the river Sella. A long stage but that will undoubtedly reward us with a succession of green coastal landscapes and incredible sandy beaches. A real treat for the senses.

This stage is part of the Northern Way. Would you like to walk it with your accommodation already booked? These organised trips include it: Northern Way from San Sebastián to Bilbao, Northern Way from Bilbao to Santander and Northern Way from Irún to Bilbao.

Bilbao blends seafaring tradition and cutting-edge architecture like few other cities. The Casco Viejo and its Siete Calles bring together the cathedral of Santiago, pintxos bars and the Ribera market; along the estuary, the Guggenheim and the Abandoibarra promenade show the other side of the city. An unhurried txikiteo is the best plan.
