This route has a smell of adventure and winds its way through mountainous and coastal paths from creeks, coves and small typical harbors far from the frequented Camino Frances.San Sebastian, Bilbao, Santander, Ribadesella,Oviedo, Lugo, Santiago : 800 km, 500 miles in 30 or 32 walking days or more of green landscape and hospitality
