North Atlantic Spain: The Coastal Way

In northern Spain, you don’t have to go far to cross one of the many routes of St. James (The Way). This pilgrimage route to the burial place of the apostle St. James has been approached by many peoples, coming from different places and from around the world for centuries. In Ortigueira, we found ourselves along the “English Route” for people coming from the British Isles. At our next stop, Poo de Llanes, in the Asturia region, we found ourselves on the coastal route of St. James. Beautiful trails, coves, swimming beaches and one picture perfect day out of two, we’ll take it. Life is good.
