For the first 12 days we were walking the Camino Del Norte, continuing our 2018 Camino. At Ribadeo we switched to the Ruta del Cantábrico aka Ruta de Mar aka Camino de Mar. It is a 90 mile (150 km) trail developed and maintained by the government of Galicia. A lot of it is flagstone walks and stays close of the coast. Some is quiet roads, some is forest trails. This photo is not cherrypicked, there are lots of places like this. The signage is mostly very good and you could probably walk it without a map but we have a gpx track of it also. Every once in a while we are really glad to have the track to reassure us we haven’t gone astray.
We couldn’t be happier with our choice to walk the Ruta. It is beautiful and easy to follow and goes through interesting towns. There are no pilgrims because it is not an official Camino yet although they seem to be trying to make it one. We’ve seen lots of local people out taking a walk, but we haven’t seen a single person doing it like us with backpacks. Also no albergues but we don’t stay in them much any way so that is not a problem.
