Camino del Norte · Stage 18 of 36

Ribadesella to Colunga

An easy, mostly coastal day, with stretches on or across the N-632. The first open bar is probably at Berbes, 5.9 miles in. Gronze also lists longer days: Sebrayo's simple public albergue makes it 19.6 miles from Ribadesella. Colunga is known for fabes and cider, and the Jurassic museum is between Colunga and Lastres.
