The Way of Saint James: The Camino del Norte from Gijon to Ribadeo.

Arrival in Gijón and check-in at your hotel. If you arrive during the day, take advantage of the time you have to go and see the Palacio de Revillagigedo and the Colegiata de San Juan Bautista, two emblematic buildings of the city.

We recommend taking bus #12 to the Fatima stop to exit the city.
You will alternate for this particular stage fields, industrial area and eucalyptus forests.
When you arrive in Aviles, you can stroll through the old town, classified as a historic site, and in particular in the pedestrian streets of Galiana and Rivero and in the Plaza de España and its Town Hall, or visit the old church Sabugo, of the thirteenth century and that, of Santo Tomás de Canterbury. Do not miss the palaces of Valdecarzana and Camposagrado, as well as the theater-palace Valdés.

From the hotel, you catch the way to St Jacques. It continues to sneak through a wide variety of hamlets, chapels, palaces, beaches and forests.
We advise you to make a hook by Cudillero, small fishing village that is worth a visit!
In Soto de Luiña, don’t miss the 18th century church of Santa María.

You hike on an old national road and walk along the seaside. The sumptuous landscapes will make you forget the difference in altitude of this stage.

This short stage alternates paths and small pieces of the national road but remains pleasant and safe.

This short step presents no difficulty. However, it is rich in Jacquar traces (Santiago Apostol Church, San Bartolomé Church, San Salvador Church…). This stage ends at Navia and its fishing port.

Two possible routes for this final stage in Asturias: one by the coast and one by the countryside. At the end of the day, you cross the Ribadeo estuary, the natural border between Asturias and Galicia. Santiago de Compostela is getting closer! Free dinner.

End of stay after breakfast.
