Soto de Luiña → Cadavedo
A stage of the Camino del Norte
Though rated only moderate, this 20.8 km stage on the Camino del Norte is physically demanding, packing 509 metres of ascent into a relatively short day as the route climbs steeply from Soto de Luiña into the elevated terrain above the western Asturian coast. The descent is far gentler — just 171 metres — meaning most of the altitude earned stays with you on arrival at Cadavedo. Take the climbs steadily and allow time to absorb the dramatic coastal panoramas that open up as height is gained.
