Information
In this stage we say goodbye to the Basque territory. To enter Cantabria. We are sure that you are going to miss Basque food a lot, but don't worry, we assure you that in Cantabria you will continue eating just as well. This time we are leaving Portugalete to put heading for Castro Urdiales, one of the most populated towns on the Cantabrian coast.
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 Bilbao to Santander.
You leave Portugalete along the bidegorri (cycle path), leaving the Bilbao metropolitan area behind. After the beach of La Arena you reach Pobeña, where the best stretch of the day begins: the Paseo Itsaslur, a greenway following an old mining railway, with stunning views over the coast. You continue along paths to Castro Urdiales, already in Cantabria.
