Hi there,

Can anyone recall (or check for me in a guidebook ) whether the above stage was mainly path/Tarmac road? Also the distance (have seen varying reports online). Am looking to do this stage as a day trip from Santander where I am studying and am trying to time buses! Have walked Camino Frances & Portuguese before and would love to be able to walk the Camino del Norte sometime in the future, unfortunately right now I only have one day. Am I right in thinking this stage would be a nice day's walking to choose?

We remember this section as being a lot of tarmac. If you check out bus (or FEVE) times to Llanes and walk west from there it is more track etc, particularly Celorio to Ribadasella, then get the bus or FEVE back. The FEVE only has 2 trains per day which you can use (early am out and late pm back). ALSA might be best, or a' local' company. You can check out the Gronze site for distances.

Another possibility would be from Comillas to San Vicente de la Barquera, the stage further to the west. You have a choice of two routes, one on country roads, and the other beside beaches.
