Camino del Norte
12.3 km, 243 m up and 207 m down, through 4 places, 2 of which have somewhere to sleep. Where you stop is up to you.
Every place on the path in order, with the distance from Barrio de La Iglesia. Most are too small to sleep in — a fountain, a chapel, a bar that may or may not be open — but they are what the day is actually made of.
Turn right before arriving at the church to the nearby town of Pando.
The camino turns right onto the main road in Pando at the church.
From Concha the camino turns left to follow a short trail back to the main road as it enters Comillas, turning left at the campsite.
The camino passes through the center of the old town, and does not go near any of the beaches in Comillas; however it is worthwhile to make the detour to visit as the views are exceptional.After passing through the old town the camino emerges onto the Calle del Marqués de Comillas at a broad park. High up on the hillside to your left is the Capricho de Gaudi and the Palace and Chapel de Sobrellano. Follow the road past these landmarks and straight through the roundabout at the end of the park. You are now in the CA-131 and 2.3km from here the camino splits.
The camino has recently changed and now follows the road north. The new route bypasses El Tejo and La Revilla and instead continues along a pedestrian path adjacent to the road. It continues to Oaymbre beach (bar) and then onward to San Vicente de la Barquera along the road.
A hamlet on the road between Comillas and San Vicente de la Barquera. The camino has been rerouted and now bypasses this area, following a pedestrian path along the road instead. No services.
A hamlet recognizable mainly for its golf course. The camino now bypasses this area on its rerouted path to San Vicente de la Barquera.
Distance, climb and descent are measured along the GPS track for this camino — 195 recorded points across this span, the same track the app carries. The town-to-town figures in my data put it at 12.5 km.
