![]() We remind you that from Easter to October 31, the backpack transport service is available on the Northern Way. The Northern Way is a well-marked route, especially as it passes through the País Vasco. The increase in pilgrims registered in recent years has led this itinerary to reinforce its network of hostels and accommodation, so far enough to cover the demand for walkers and bicigrinos. In Arzúa, where more than 780 kilometers have been traveled from Irún, the Northern Route joins the French Way to reach Santiago de Compostela. It is the second longest route to the Galician capital, after the Vía de la Plata, very intense and attractive. Upon arriving in Asturias, the pilgrim will be able to enjoy Llanes and its Indian houses Villaviciosa, famous for its cider or Mondoñedo, one of the old seven capitals of Galicia.Ĭontinuation with the Primitive and French WayĪs it passes through Asturias, the Northern Way connects with the Primitive Way at the height of Sebrayo. The pilgrim must choose at this point between continuing to Oviedo and completing the 14 stages of the Primitive Way or continuing the Route along the Cantabrian coast to Gijón. Others pass through the interior, combining the mountains, valleys and forests. The itinerary always runs close to towns, medium-sized towns and cities such as San Sebastián or Bilbao, Castro Urdiales already in Cantabria, the beautiful Santillana del Mar or Comillas with Gaudí's Capricho. ![]() Some sections of this coastal route are literally attached to the coastline, offering great views of beaches and cliffs. From the surfer beach of Zarautz to the stately beach of El Sardinero in Santander or the famous inland beach of Gulpiyuri in the Asturian town of Naves. When the Peninsula was again under the control of Christian rulers, the French Way took center stage over the other routes, including the Northern Way. In the last decades the Northern Way recovered its peak and today it is one of the favorite options, due to the beauty of its surroundings and the absolute prominence of the Cantabrian Sea.Īlso called Camino de la Costa, the Route starts in Irún and crosses the communities of the Basque Country, Cantabria and Asturias, to enter Galicia through the beautiful town of Ribadeo. The diversity of the territory and the landscape is one of the attractions of this itinerary, which encounters the hardest stages throughout the stages of Euskadi.Ĭantabria will be a rest for the pilgrim who, however, will circulate on roads and tracks. Asturias and Galicia will return the walker to rural and mountainous terrain, with the last stages already far from the sea.
