Picos de Europa - A stage of Camino Norte pilgrimage from Colombres to Llanes on the way to Santiago

Today we decided to do something different and not choose the Picos de Europa for a walk. A couple of years ago we walked the Camino Norte for 500 miles from its start in Irun near the French border, to Santiago de Compostela. We had enjoyed this walk so much that we decided to do one of the stages again from Colombres to Llanes. The only problem with doing a linear walk, is the ability to return to the start. There are more interesting sections of the Camino in the vicinity-more to come later-but this section has the easiest transport links, especially on a Sunday when we walked. We were very excited to see what had changed and how much of the walk we could remember. The route is usually easy to follow with yellow arrows and shells to show the way to Santiago, on the whole making a guide book unnecessary.
