Camino Norte - Bilbao to Santiago
For those drawn to epic journeys and personal accomplishment, the Camino Norte from Bilbao to Santiago tour offers an unforgettable 32-day walking adventure through Spain’s northern coast. Suited for experienced travelers and active seniors seeking moderate physical challenge, this self-guided trip traces one of the original pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela.
Beginning in Bilbao, home to the world-renowned Guggenheim Museum, the path follows the dramatic coastline of the Bay of Biscay, weaving through Cantabria and Asturias. From the gateway town of Ribadeo, the route dips south into Galicia, passing historic villages and lush mountain trails. The quieter nature of the Camino Norte, shielded historically by the Picos de Europa and Cordillera Cantabrica, offers a contemplative alternative to the busier French route.
You’ll stay in charming local hotels and experience a rich tapestry of landscapes—from seaside cliffs to ancient towns—while savoring regional cuisine and vibrant culture. The unique selling point of this tour is the opportunity to walk a less-traveled Camino, blending centuries-old tradition with breathtaking natural beauty for a truly rewarding pilgrimage experience.
