Day 1: Arrival in Bilbao
As you arrive in the modern and vibrant city of Bilbao you can sample the renowned Basque cuisine. If you arrive early it's worth visiting the Guggenheim Museum, walk through the old town and along the river at the center of the city.
Day 2: Bilbao – Portugalete – Castro Urdiales (25 km / 15.5 mi)
After a transfer from Bilbao to Portugalete you will start walking. The Camino del Norte unveils rugged cliffs and stunning ocean panoramas. A long cycle path leads us to the beach of La Arena, where we will meet the Cantabrian Sea, we then follow a path along the cliffs, a very beautiful stretch where we leave the Basque Country to enter Cantabria. The coastal trail leads you to Castro Urdiales, a town with a beautiful harbor and a rich history. Take some time to explore its historic streets and taste the local seafood.
Day 3: Castro Urdiales – Laredo (26 km / 16 mi)
Your journey continues along the northern coast, with the beauty of the Bay of Biscay as your backdrop. An interesting stage with beautiful scenery, with several beaches, cliffs and stretches through forest, alternating with green inland valleys. Its profile is a continuous up and down, but with moderate gradients. Laredo, your destination for the day, is known for its golden sandy beaches. This is a great place to relax, recharge, and enjoy the refreshing sea breeze.
Day 4: Laredo - Güemes (29 km / 18 mi)
The trail winds through lush countryside and charming villages, crossing three long beaches: Salvé (in Laredo), Berria (after Santoña) and Helgueras-Trengadín (Noja). From the Puntal de Laredo to Santoña you will take short sail. You will then turn inland to finish the day in Güemes, which offers a peaceful respite with its green and quiet landscapes.
Day 5: Güemes – Santander (16 km / 10 mi)
As your last walk you will have a short stage with almost no ascents, which will allow you to spend the afternoon visiting the city of Santander, capital of Cantabria. The coastal route skirts the cliffs and offers some beautiful scenery. Once in Somo, you take a passenger boat across the bay, leaving you right in the centre of the city. Santander offers a blend of culture, history, and natural beauty, making it a perfect ending point for your pilgrimage.
