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: https://www.wikiloc.com...

Great first 9 miles along along Laredo promenade to the ferry to Satona then along tge coast and beaches to Noya. The 10 miles on roads to Guemes was hard on the feet.

Agree 100% with the summary. The last half of the walk, although on roads, passes through nice countryside.
