THE GREEN PATHWAY<\/span><\/span><\/h2>
<\/div>

The Northern Way was for centuries an alternative to the French Way for those pilgrims arriving from the south of France or the ports of the Cantabrian Sea. It avoided the lands of Castile, where the battles of the Reconquest were being waged.<\/p>\n

En el siglo XXI, el Camino del Norte permite conocer la cornisa cant\u00e1brica en toda su esencia. In the 21st century, the Northern Way allows visitors to discover the Cantabrian coastline in all its essence. Beginning at the French border, it hugs the shoreline, passing through such major historic cities as Bilbao, Santander and Gij\u00f3n; a number of Spain’s most beautiful villages (such as Hondarribia, Santillana del Mar, Cudillero and Mondo\u00f1edo) and numerous protected coastal landscapes, including the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve and the Dunes of Liencres Nature Park.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
