Camino del Norte · Stage 19 of 36

Colunga to Villaviciosa

A short inland day with almost no services, just a couple of vending machines. Villaviciosa is the capital of Asturian cider country. Next morning the Camino splits at Casquita, 2.3 miles out: straight on for Gijón, left for Oviedo and the Camino Primitivo.

Short day: free afternoon
