The Town
Discover San Vicente de la Barquera
San Vicente de la Barquera is one of the most picturesque fishing villages on the Cantabrian coast and an emblematic starting point for two important pilgrimage routes: the Camino del Norte to Santiago and the Camino Lebaniego to Santo Toribio. Its image is unforgettable, with the Puente de la Maza crossing the estuary, the Gothic church of Santa María de los Ángels and the Castle of the King dominating the horizon, all set against the backdrop of the snow-capped peaks of the Picos de Europa. For the pilgrim, this village is a feast for the senses. Its fishing port bustles with activity, and its restaurants are the perfect place to enjoy fresh seafood and fish from the Cantabrian coast. The village offers all necessary services, including hostels and specialized shops. Starting the Camino Lebaniego here marks the beginning of a journey that takes you from sea to high mountain in just a few kilometers, an exceptional landscape transition. It is a stop that perfectly combines the essence of the sea with the spirituality of the pilgrimage routes.
