Camino del Norte
11.1 km, 95 m up and 159 m down, through 1 place, 1 of which has somewhere to sleep. Where you stop is up to you.
Every place on the path in order, with the distance from Güemes. 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.
The route from the church in Güemes (along the shortcut) and the official camino rejoin on the CA-443 at the west end of town. This is the same road that led into town, but the number changed at the church. Where it reaches a junction with another main road, turn left. Galizano is ahead and on your right. You will turn off the road to pass through it.
The camino splits again in Galizano. One option is to return to the main road and follow it all the way into Somo. The quieter option is to pass through town and continue north to the sea to follow a coastal route which enters Somo at the edge of the Loredo beach.
Loredo is on the coastal route variant between Galizano and Somo. A quiet beach settlement. The path along the coast here is pleasant walking.
Distance, climb and descent are measured along the GPS track for this camino — 155 recorded points across this span, the same track the app carries. The town-to-town figures in my data put it at 10.4 km.
