Stage of the Camino
Stage Description
Classic Cantabrian stage of the Camino del Norte. The departure from Laredo is through the beach of La Salvé, one of the longest in the Cantabrian Sea, and crosses the estuary of Santoña in a traditional boat to continue through Cicero and the Natural Park of the Marshes of Santoña. The landscape combines coast, marshes and whelks. After about 30 km you reach Güemes, famous for its pilgrims' hostel La Cabaña del Abuelo Peuto, managed by Father Ernesto, a reference on the Camino.
The stage that leads to Plasencia is a long journey that crosses a landscape of great natural value. The route runs through the vicinity of the Monfragüe National Park, a paradise for birdwatching. The profile is flat, but the distance requires good preparation. The route passes by the Arrocampo reservoir, another important wetland. Arrival in Plasencia is the big prize of the day. This city, founded by Alfonso VIII, is one of the most monumental in Extremadura. Its old town, surrounded by walls, is a treasure. What's unique about Plasencia is that it has two cathedrals, the Old (Romanesque and Gothic) and the New (Renaissance and Plateresque), united in the same complex. Its Main Square, its medieval aqueduct and numerous palaces complete an exceptional heritage. It's a must-see stop, a place to dedicate time to and enjoy its beauty and lively atmosphere.
