What you pass through

Every place on the path in order, with the distance from Rioseco. 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 the albergue the camino climbs up to join the N-634, turning left to follow it a short distance. When it splits the official camino turns left to leave the main road and descend to Tarrueza. You can alternatively keep on the N-634 on a shorter course to Laredo; this option will rejoin the official camino at a large junction.

Distance, climb and descent are measured along the GPS track for this camino — 154 recorded points across this span, the same track the app carries. The town-to-town figures in my data put it at 9.2 km.
