Itinerary description

This is a much longer, but also much more interesting alternative to the asphalt of the Camino de Santiago. It is a two days hike (or a very long one day hike). You can find the second part here:

Day 1: Santander - Soto de Marina (21,5 km)
Day 2: Soto de Marina - Boo de Piélagos (13,5 km)

I left my car at the trainstation in Boo and took a Feve train to Santander. In Soto de Marina there are several options to stay.

I tried to follow the coastline as much as I could, but it is possible that I still missed options. In Santander I walked quite a lot on beaches that might not be there with high tide.

This is the only dreadful part of day 1: a long asphalt road along some rather shabby looking neigbourhoods. It is possible that I missed coastal options here.
