Camino del Norte
16.4 km, 193 m up and 205 m down, through 3 places, 3 of which have somewhere to sleep. Where you stop is up to you.
Every place on the path in order, with the distance from Cadavedo. 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.
From here the camino passes Villademoros, San Cristóbal, and Queruás along back roads and paths.
A hamlet between Cadavedo and Queruás. No services.
From Queruás the camino follows farms roads towards and under the A-8, and then descends into Canero.
Arriving at the few industrial buildings that signal your arrival in Canero, the camino joins the N-632a briefly. It passes through a roundabout and over the river, and then resumes along a trail on your right. From here you begin climbing back out of the valley, and along the way you pass the hotel and restaurant adjacent to the road. It is possible to stay on the road from the hotel, but there are trails that shortcut the switchbacks in the road and which take you back up to (and under) the A-8. The majority of the walk between here and Barcia is along the N-634.
Located off the camino along the N-634. No particular reason to detour.
Distance, climb and descent are measured along the GPS track for this camino — 281 recorded points across this span, the same track the app carries. The town-to-town figures in my data put it at 10.1 km.
