Stage
Santillana del Mar → Comillas
Ease of walking: Moderate with some short climbs and descents as the route navigates headlands and small valleys; mostly paved or packed-earth tracks.
This coastal stage leads from the medieval streets of Santillana out toward the seaside town of Comillas, passing rural lanes and occasional viewpoints over the Cantabrian Sea. It is a popular day walk for those wanting to combine cultural stops with coastal scenery.
Scenery
Expect a mix of agricultural valleys, wooded patches and increasingly maritime views as you approach rocky headlands, beaches and the ornamental architecture of Comillas.
Points of interest along the way
- • Collegiate Church of Santa Juliana (Santillana del Mar)
- • El Capricho (Comillas)
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.
