    Norte should not be awarded World Heritage status - expert.

    Actually, there are several sites nearby us that could be made into something serving pilgrims, but the coastal route is not so heavily traveled and thus the economics aren't great. What is already happening, is an attempt to change the route of the Camino as it passes through Carreño. The...

    Norte should not be awarded World Heritage status - expert.

    UNESCO has announced that El Camino del Norte has been placed on the World Heritage List… El Camino Primitivo (from Oviedo) and el Camino Costero (the coastal route) are now the patrimony of humanity. http://www.lne.es/asturias/2015/07/05/unesco-declara-patrimonio-mundial-caminos/1782337.html#

    Is the El Norte well signposted?

    True enough and already in the works. Obliterating the 12 false arrows for the false camino is first up. The real camino is marked after the problem intersection. The problem intersection can been seen in the attached photos. The intersection where the false camino begins has signs for too...

    Is the El Norte well signposted?

    I'm not sure how to put this less bluntly: El Camino del Norte (la costa) is being changed to benefit a bar and sidereria. The true camino leaves Gijón, rises up onto a ridge, runs along flat terrain for a bit, and then drops down to pass a church (Santa Eulalia) where peregrinos can rest, find...
