Camino del Norte/Stage 22 of 36

Camino del Norte · Stage 22 of 36

Avilés to Muros de Nalón

Since 2025 the official route goes through Piedras Blancas, with about 0.6 miles on the AS-320 with no shoulder. Gronze calls that very dangerous and recommends the San Martín de Laspra variant instead, about the same length. Take care in the narrow gap beside the railing on the N-632 bridge over the Nalón.
