Camino Del Norte (2018)
My wife and I are still in the planning stages, and this forum is amazingly full of great info.
We intend to walk from Castro Urdiales to Laredo in 2 stages (we're trying to keep to an average of 15km per day).
Initially, using the Buen Camino app, I had selected a stop at El Pontarron.
However I read on this forum that it would be better to stay elsewhere.
So I picked the Fernanda Inn at Rioseco (Guriezo). The Buen Camino app shows the Camino then continuing on to Lugarejos, Liendo, and then Laredo. Gronze shows a route that goes from El Pontarron to Liendo, following I believe N634.
So if we stay at Rioseco, we have the option of backtracking to El Pontarron, and then following N634, which would be 16.2km according to Gronze from Rioseco to Laredo. Or we could continue on to Lugarejos (dotted line on Gronze), which is 17.6km from Rioseco to Laredo. The Buen Camino app shows yet another path, crossing the N634 after Liendo towards the coast before getting to Laredo, which would be 19.3km from Rioseco to Laredo.
As we're trying to limit the distance, we're tempted to take N634, but what would be the deciding factor is if following the N634 means that we would be on asphalt all the time, and following the dotted line in Gronze or the Buen Camino app line would be on nicer/more scenic paths.
I would be grateful if anyone who has experienced any of these options could share their opinion.
Thank you!
Cheers
Andrew
