Gijón → Avilés
A stage of the Camino del Norte
This 25.6 km moderate stage on the Camino del Norte links the two largest cities of Asturias, walking southwest from Gijón to Avilés through a working coastal landscape. The elevation is modest and balanced — 157 metres up and 151 metres down — and the character of the stage shifts from Gijón's urban fringe through coastal wetlands and farmland before arriving in Avilés, a city whose carefully restored medieval old quarter stands in striking contrast to its industrial heritage. Some navigation through peri-urban areas is required.
