El Camino del Norte - Northern Spain by bike

This practical and compact guide published by Petirrojo presents "El Camino del Norte" a route along the north Spanish coast from Irun on the French border to Santiago de Compostela. From the mountains of the "Camino Primitivo" to the coastal landscapes of the "Camino de la Costa" you will cycle for 872 kilometers in 16 stages.

For many pilgrims, it represents a real alternative to the classic and overcrowded French Way. Everything at
along its 872 km, you will cross the Basque Country, Cantabria, Asturias and Galicia, and you will never be disappointed by the grandeur of its landscapes nor by the bewitchment of its fishing villages or by the richness of its traditions.
However, it is above all a demanding path because it is very hilly, even mountainous. However, the guide, intended specifically for cyclo-travelers, recommends tolerable alternatives to cycling while enriching the official route with variants off more tourist routes.

You will find there as in all the topo-guides of the bici:map collection :

•  route comments (quality of the path, distances, water points ...)
• orientation of visits
• practical information (address book for accommodation, catering, etc.)
• alternatives to conflict situations
• variant on the road
• clear and detailed legend

The strong point of the guide lies in its 1/75 000 cartography worked and easy to read, specifically aimed at cyclo-travelers.
