The list of Campgrounds (Campings) to stay at on Camino de Santiago del Norte in Spain
In this blog post we are going to share with you the list of possible campgrounds (or campings) to stay at along the Camino del Norte (Northern Way of Camino). We had several requests during the last year from our readers and subscribers and finally we have made the complete list for you. We included all the campgrounds we personally stayed at during our Camino and we also very grateful for the help of one of our dear subscribers who shared with us his own plan of doing a Camino and we took some campsites from his list as well. Be aware that because we did a lot of deviations…

Final day getting to Santiago de Compostela | Camino del Norte – Day 32
On the Day 32 of our Camino de Santiago del Norte we got from the village O Grove to the city Santiago de Compostela. The night was windy and the rush of wind were very strong so we had another bad sleep night. Also we were running out of food and hoped for the supermarket to be open in the morning. So we decided to pack everything up and cook the breakfast at some beach on the way. The camping we liked quite a lot, it was spacious and big, had a lot of plots to choose from with the cold water source in each. The only downside compared to…

Exploring Island area of Sanxenxo, A Lanzada and O Grove in Galicia | Camino del Norte – Day 31
On the Day 31 of our Camino de Santiago del Norte we hiked from the town A Lanzada to O Grove in Galicia. It was a rainy morning and we had to stay in the tent all the time packing our clothes. It is always extremely hard and inconvenient. And most importantly the tent gets so soaking wet that it weighs a ton and the next evening we have a completely wet tent to sleep in. But we had to move and after hard packing we were out of the camping. We hadn’t much time to look around it but it was quite a small elongated camping close to the…

Scenic natural trail Ruta del Cantabrico in Galicia | Camino del Norte from Foz to ValdoviƱo – Day 30
On the Day 30 of our Camino de Santiago del Norte we got from the town Foz to ValdoviƱo in Galicia. It was a beautiful sunny morning when we woke up in the camping San Rafael. We came there very late yesterday night and could have a look at where we are only today. The camping was nice, quite small and great located close to the beach. There were no people but us and another couple so it was very quiet and clean. As we walked out of it we were right at the beach that was curative. Locals say that the people who have respiratory problems actually recover there.…

Discover the Underwater world – Incredible As Catedrais Beach in Ribadeo, Galicia | Camino del Norte – Day 29
On the Day 29 of our Camino de Santiago del Norte we passed through Ribadeo and Las Catedrales Beach in Galicia. In the morning we were still broken apart from the last day and it was the day when we had to make an important decision whether to continue on with the Camino or stop it at this point. We were already seeing that we are moving way more slower that we thought and so don’t have enough time to get to Santiago de Compostela by foot whatever way we choose. Also we got kind of burn out of the Camino having to always search for an alternative – that’s…

Following the GR E9 – great alternative to Camino del Norte | From Navia to Tapia de Casariego – Day 28
On the Day 28 of our Camino de Santiago del Norte we got from Navia to Tapia de Casariego in Asturias. We woke up to a quiet chilly morning in the field. At night it was windy but we were warm because we covered all the sides of the tent with a hay that we found at a place(sometimes we use tree branches, leaves and fir depending on a place). We discovered that it helps a lot to keep the warm air inside especially in an open space area like that day and when the nights are getting colder. So we started the day very early and we didn’t even…

Perfect and Easy Coastal Trail on Camino del Norte – Las Barqueras, Barayo, Puerto de Vega- Day 27
On the Day 27 of our Camino de Santiago del Norte we got from las Barqueras to the outskirts of Navia in Asturias. The morning was fresh and chilly so we got up quite late and didn’t hurry to start hiking. We felt like the autumn will gain its power very soon. Camping Playa de Otur gave us the opportunity to discover a very beautiful beach and it was already enough to say that we liked it. But the place itself wasn’t bad at all – there were lots of space, lots of big trees around, it is very green with many robins living there. Just the dogs from nearby…

Discovering hidden scenic beaches in Asturias | Camino del Norte from Luarca to Playa de Otur – Day 26
On the Day 26 of our Camino de Santiago del Norte we got from the town of Luarca to Playa de Otur in Asturias. We ended up liking the camping Los Cantiles quite a lot when in the morning we had time to explore it. It was very spacious green space with lots of different spots to camp and the proximity of the ocean and incredible views from it – make it a special place. There were lots of robins flying and singing around and it created a peaceful garden atmosphere. It turned out to be probably thr best viewpoint of the lighthouse of Luarca and its church on the…

Splendid natural area of Cabo Bustu in Asturias, Spain | Camino del Norte from Cadavedo to Luarca – Day 25
On the Day 25 of our Camino de Santiago del Norte we got from Cadavedo village to the town Luarca in Asturias. We woke up really early that day to be in time to catch the train. It was our great motivation. We wanted to travel 2 stops and to get off on the station Caneiru so that we have more time to explore another beautiful cliff. And also we saw that most of the trail was on or near the road and we didn’t want to walk all that distance. So we got ready as quickly as possible and rushed to the train station. We waited for the train…

Untouched natural beauty of the atlantic oceancoast | San Pedro de La Ribera, Cabo Vidio and Cadavedo on Camino del Norte-Day 24
On the Day 24 of our Camino de Santiago del Norte we got from San Pedro de la Ribera beach to the village Cadavedo in Asturias. We spent a quiet night in the fields at a spot that we found yesterday. Only in the morning we saw the people walking with their dogs. We went out to the beach to have our breakfast on one of the picnic tables which was very convenient and it was our 3rd time eating at a table, it felt like a blessing. We finally could film there my favourite stretching routine. The weather was a bit windy and cool so we had to wait…
