The first autumn day and getting to Oviedo |Camino del Norte from Villaviciosa to Cudillero – Day 22
On the Day 22 of our Camino de Santiago del Norte we got from the village Villaviciosa to Oviedo and then to the town Cudillero in Asturias. We woke up absolutely broken apart even though we slept well that night. All the muscles were sore and the shoulders and back were aching. Everything was telling us to stop that day but we couldn’t. We had to move forward because in that town we didn’t have what we needed for cooking. And plus it was Sunday when everything was closed and we had no chance to find even some small shop where they could be selling camping gas. So we had…

Very bright and sunny day on Camino del Norte| From Ribadesella to Colunga in Asturias, Spain – Day 21
On the Day 21 of our Camino de Santiago del Norte we hiked from the village Ribadesella to Colunga in Asturias. Even though the day before was an easy one and we didn’t make lots of kms, in the morning we still felt broken apart. And now we were thinking of taking a day off the trail for one day. But we knew that we have to continue on and partly because we didn’t have the camping gas to cook on. And that is a really big deal for us. The campground was quiet except for the jackdaws that were disturbing our sleep in the middle of the night. Maybe…

Going hungry on the Camino! | Camino del Norte from Bufones de Pria to Ribadesella in Asturias, Spain – Day 20
On the Day 20 of our Camino de Santiago del Norte we got from the Bufones de Pria to the town Ribadesella in Asturias, Spain. The place we found for a camp was nice and secluded. Only the dogs were barking all night and disturbing our sleep. But nevertheless we slept well and at least the tractor didn’t come to work at that field in the early morning, we were a bit worried about that. So we set up the alarm at 7.30 am but got up an hour later cause we find it’s so hard to wake up when it’s dark outside. And now when the day was getting…

Hiking through the Earth of Bufones in Asturias, Spain | Camino del Norte from Celorio to Bufones de Pria – Day 19
On the Day 19 of our Camino de Santiago del Norte we got from the town Celorio to Bufones de Pria in Asturias, Spain. We left the camping Troenzo traditionally late and we felt like it was getting harder and harder for us to wake up – the tireness of walking many days in a row was accumulating and getting over us. The muscles were chronically aching, not much but constantly. And we were thinking about taking a day to rest because we didn’t make a one in the whole Camino. Just the spot had to be suitable. The night was cold and we had to wear our warm clothes…

Hiking through Wonderful Bufones de Arenillas and beautiful beaches in Asturias, Spain | Camino del Norte in Pendueles, Llanes, Celorio – Day 18
On the Day 18 of our Camino de Santiago del Norte we got from the campsite “La Paz” in Pendueles to the campground “Playa de Troenzo” in Celorio. We woke up pretty late to a cloudy morning in a beautiful location at camping La Paz. We were more than happy with it because of its incredible location between the two beaches and unusual concept. It was extremely hard to wake up to the gloomy weather that was staying lately and you know when you like the place you kind of don’t hurry to leave. We tried to pack everything up as quickly as possible and get on the trail. The…

The most scenic campsite ever at the atlantic oceancoast!? | Camino del Norte – Day 16
On the Day 16 of our Camino de Santiago del Norte we got from the town San Vicente de la Barquera to Campsite “Playa Las Arenas”. The start of the day was very bright and sunny very contrasting to the yesterday’s weather. And it was obvious that it’s gonna be hot. The camping was a bit noisy and overcrowded and so at night there were some disturbing noises. In the early morning we heard something moving outside close to our tent and when we looked out we saw the hedgehog attracted by the food leftovers, most probably skin of the peach. We thought it was a cat cause there are…

The hottest and most tedious day | Camino del Norte from Santillana de Mar to Comillas – Day 14
On the Day 14 of our Camino de Santiago del Norte we got from the village Santillana de Mar to the town Comillas at the oceancoast. We rested well and with fresh powers started the day. We left the camping Santillana a bit late at 11 am but we knew we will be on time because we saw that the trail is going on the car asphalt roads and it always means that it will be easier. Right from the start the route was going up and down and up and down all the time. And even though we walked mostly on asphalt routes that day at the end the…

Escape the city and beautiful camping | Camino del Norte from Santander to Santillana de Mar – Day 13
On the Day 13 of our Camino de Santiago del Norte we got from the village Somo close to Santander to the village Santillana de Mar. That morning we got up very early and quickly left the camping. We didn’t want to stay in this dirt for no longer and found a good spot on the beach to cook our breakfast. We weren’t sure whether it was a falling tide or a tidal wave but the water was coming at us and we decided to back up to the dry sand to be safe. The morning was absolutely stunning from the beach de Loredo with the foggy views of the…

Camino is Addictive! | Camino del Norte from Comillas to Sant Vicente de la Barquera – Day 15
On the Day 15 of our Camino de Santiago del Norte we got from the town Comillas to San Vicente de la Barquera. From the start of the day it was cloudy and gloomy with lots of humidity in the air. Everything around was wet. That was the first night when we had to wear the hats so we felt that the nights are getting colder. And we hadn’t big plans for the day – we aimed to walk just 11 kms till the outskirts of Sant Vicente de la Barquera. Because the next camping was in 27 km and we reasonably thought that it would be impossible to do…

The most efficient day – hiking through the beautiful beaches | Camino del Norte from Noja to Loredo in Cantabria, Spain – Day 12
We woke up in the city of Noja in the very nice camping Playa Joyel that we were very happy about. It was the second camping in the row that we liked a lot. It had a good price range, nice facilities and direct access to the beach. It was the first camping where there was the hairdresser saloon and a cashpoint, not to mention the supermarket and camping related stuff shop. But the best part was the beach Playa de Candado of course in a very scenic location where we met the sunrise and enjoyed the view just for a bit. It had a little bit less space but…
