Camino del Norte/Stage 21 of 36

Camino del Norte · Stage 21 of 36

Gijón to Avilés

There are no services on the route until Tabaza, 10.5 miles in. Gronze calls the approach through Tabaza and Trasona, between motorways and steelworks, one of the least rewarding stretches of the Norte, with a nasty stretch on the AS-19 shoulder. Avilés's old town is well restored, and the Niemeyer centre is across the estuary.

Basic details only. The Camino del Norte’s stages haven’t been researched in detail yet, so this page has what the trail page held: the places to stay, the day’s distance and climbing, and the planning notes.
