How do you find your way on the Camino de Santiago? 👇
Normally, the Camino is well marked with the iconic yellow arrows or symbolic seashells guiding your path. However, on our way between Gijon and Muros de Nalon (48 km) today, the arrows went missing… watch along to see how we found our way!

You missed a good walk between Gijon and Aviles. Yes, somewhat industrial, yet that is what drives these local economies. Some pilgrims take a bus from Deva (the camping spot as you desend from the hills) to Aviles and skip Gijon altogether. The last 6kms of unban sproul into Gijon are no worse than the bits of industry you'll find on the walk from Gijon. You do walk through forest as well in to Aviles. There is a lot of 'ugly' on the Norte, and some choose to bypass that. No judgment from me. My suggestion is to walk the whole Camino.
I highly recommend anyone to skip the Camino here and instead do the Senda Norte from Aviles to Muros de Nalon, which goes along the coast. It was one of the most beautiful days I spent on the Norte.
Wow, that place was great for 40 euros! Hoping to hike a Camino route next year (Cornwall Coastal Path this year). Del Norte is still my first preference, but I really do appreciate your honest assessment of it, especially the road walking. Like I say, its still my first choice, but Camino Portuguese might have edged a little closer! 🙂 I use Band-Aid blister cushions (admittedly not so cheap) to prevent blisters; don't know if you can get them over there?
I think in some instances that trail has been changed IRL but the guidebooks/updates haven't been updated. Sometimes albergues also put some yellow arrows out to lure you towards their accommodation…
I also bought new footwear in Gijon high-5
