Stage
Ribadesella → Colunga
Ease of walking: Moderate — mostly well-marked coastal paths and minor roads with short climbs and uneven surfaces on cliff sections.
This stage follows coastal lanes and small roads from the mouth of the Sella westward into Colunga’s municipality, offering a relatively short day suitable for walkers who want time to visit the MUJA or the dinosaur footprints at La Griega. The route may include some short ascents as it skirts cliffs and viewpoints before descending toward Colunga and nearby beaches.
Scenery
Coastal cliffs, sandy coves, farmland and sweeping views over the Cantabrian Sea, with occasional forested sections and apple orchards inland.
Points of interest along the way
- • Playa de La Griega (dinosaur footprints)
- • MUJA (Jurassic Museum of Asturias)
Water along the Camino
Pilgrims will find drinking water fountains (fuentes), public taps and springs in most villages and at points along the way. In summer and on remote stretches, carry enough water between stops as gaps can be long.
