Stage of the Camino
Stage Description
This long stage has as its destination the largest city of Asturias. The profile is very demanding, with a tough climb up Alto de la Cruz. It's a mountain day that rewards with spectacular views of the coast and Gijón. After the descent, a long urban stretch leads the pilgrim to the center of town. Arrival in Gijón, an open-to-the-sea city, with its San Lorenzo beach, Cimadevilla neighborhood, and lively atmosphere, is an unbeatable reward for the effort.
