Camino del Norte/Stage 16 of 36

Camino del Norte · Stage 16 of 36

Colombres to Llanes

Gronze strongly recommends the coastal path (red-and-white GR E-9 marks) from Pendueles instead of the official route beside the N-634; the distance is almost the same. The Arenillas blowholes spout only at high tide with a big swell. Llanes's restaurants are often packed in high season.

Good rest-day stop
