La Caridad → Ribadeo
A stage of the Camino del Norte
This easy 20.6 km stage on the Camino del Norte is among the shortest and flattest on the entire route, with only 34 metres of climbing and a gentle descent to the Cantabrian coast. Its greatest significance is the crossing of the Eo river estuary from Asturias into Galicia at Ribadeo — for many pilgrims, the moment of entering Spain's final region is a genuine emotional milestone. The walking is straightforward, leaving time to explore Ribadeo's attractive old town and enjoy the wide views over the estuary.
