My Saint James Way Part 1

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

I started the road to Santiago on November 10, 2107 in Santander and ended the 19th in Santiago de Compostela, a total of 550km traveled by mountain bike, where I had to travel trails, road and tread stones and mud.

The way I made is called 'North', crossing the Cantabrian coast, passing through cities such as Santander, Santillana del Mar, San Vicente de la Barquera, Llanes, Ribadesella, Villaviciosa, Gijón, Avilés and Santiago de Compostela.

A splendor of sea and mountain landscapes that best show below. Oh and without ruling out the rich cuisine of the place. (see part 2)

Beautiful......

It must be impressive to look at the sun knowing that Balkondan is on the sea.
