Stage 13. Santander – Santillana del Mar (37.1 km)

Information

Today we are facing a long stage that runs mainly between the outskirts of the city of Santander to reach the town of Santillana del Mar. As usual in these cases, the presence of asphalt will be recurrent throughout the first half of the stage. Afterwards, the path takes us into more rural environments where we will walk along small paths and tracks. The effort of such a long stage will be rewarded in Santillana del Mar, a historic and interesting Cantabrian town.

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 Santander to Ribadesella.

A long day, from city to medieval gem. You leave Santander heading west, past level crossings and the motorway to Santa Cruz de Bezana, and cross the medieval bridge of Oruña over the Pas river. After Requejada, Barreda and Viveda you reach Santillana del Mar, one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Spain. Today calls for a good rest.
