Camino de la Costa, Irun / Hendaye - Ribadeo, 676 km, 30 days
This branch of the Way of St. James follows the northern coastline of Spain, starting at the frontier in Hendaye / Irun, and ending in Ribadeo. Compared to the main Camino Francés, this northern route is more rugged. From the point of view of the hiker, this route offers more variety and better views, but is also harder.
Sometimes, the stretch after Ribadeo is also referred to as Camino de la Costa, but a better name is Camino del Norte.
Large parts of the Camino de la Costa coincide with the E9, the European long distance way that follows the coastline.
