How wonderful to be walking with your daughter!

In 2017 I walked from GijĂłn to Santiago (2015 started in IrĂşn).

Just a heads-up that the walk from Gijón to Avilés is not one of the nicer parts of the Norte (to put it mildly, quite industrial) so don't be disappointed. It gets much better believe me! At one point before Avilés you can follow paseo along the river into the city. Take that route.

Buen Camino!
 
Thank you for the comment and suggestion. I walked most of this route with my son in 2018 and I am familiar with the industrialized section that you described. We were so excited to be on the Camino it didn’t bother us at all. Many thanks. Buen Camino.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.
