The Camino del Norte is an 865 km route throughout Spain. It crosses 4 areas: the Basque Nation, Cantabria, Asturias, and Galicia. The surroundings on the Camino is implausible; unspoiled sandy seashores, rugged cliffs, emerald meadows, the Atlantic Ocean, stunning historic cities and cities, and luxurious inexperienced forests. This route is a superb various to the favored French Camino. Each routes go parallel; del Norte follows the coast and the French Manner goes inland.
It was our third Camino de Santiago that we walked in a single 12 months after the Camino Portuguese and the Camino Primitivo. In my view, del Norte was harder than the opposite two Camino routes.
