This mesmerizing 5-day self-guided walking adventure in northern Spain takes you along the Camino Lebaniego pilgrim’s trail. Walking in northern Spain is an experience characterized by beautiful coastal and mountainous landscapes, culture and tradition, and lovely towns and cities along the way.
The Camino Lebaniego is a pilgrimage route that dates back to the 8th century and is now declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. The route ends at the sacred monastery of Santo Toribio de Liébana, where the Lignum Crucis is located. The Lignum Crucis is said to be the largest piece of Christ’s cross recovered and can be found within the 18th-century baroque chapel. Making your way to this most reverent sight, you’ll be able to connect with the same trail embarked upon for centuries by dedicated pilgrims.
Setting out from the beautiful fishing town of San Vicente de la Barquera, you’ll make your way through other idyllic towns like Puente Nansa, Serdio, Lebeña, Cicera, Burio and many more. The first half of the journey is characterized by charming hinterland and scenic countryside before transitioning to magnificent mountainous terrains as you enter the Picos de Europa National Park.
Discover the authenticity and allure of northern Spain as you embark on the Camino Lebanego Walking Tour!

10-Day Camino de Santiago in Luxury
It was an exhiliarating and awesome experience that exceeded all my expectations!
Arrive in the beautiful fishing village of San Vicente de la Barquera and receive a warm welcome from this slice of heaven on Spain’s northern coast.
If your arrival time permits, embark on a stroll through the charming old town and visit the historic port.
To avoid a steep and uninteresting section, you will be driven with the luggage transfer part of the way, up to the village of Serdio. Here you will see for the first time the route signs for the Camino Lebaniego, the branch from the Camino de Santiago to the pre-Romanesque monastery of Santo Toribio, which was quite popular among pilgrims in medieval times because of a Lignum Crucis relic. Your route today takes you down to the river Nansa, then Southward along its shore.
In the morning, another short private transfer will take you into the valley of Lamasón to avoid a long stretch of tarmac on foot.
In the picturesque valley, you’ll be dropped off at the small hamlet of Burio, pleasantly located in the middle of nowhere!
Exhilarating ascents characterize the remainder of today’s trail as you make your way uphill to the Collada de la Hoz (665m, 2181ft), discovering sweeping views of the Cicera Valley below and the majestic peaks of the Picos de Europa.
Feel yourself swept back in time as you traverse rural hinterland through the sleepy village of Cicera up to the Arceón Pass (845m, 2772ft) and finally down to Lebeña. Exploring Lebeña on foot, you’ll discover the fascinating Mozarabic church, Santa Maria de la Lebeña.
A taxi transfer will then take you back to your accommodations, where you can enjoy a relaxing evening after a challenging day on foot.
Those looking to shorten today’s walk can start instead at the Collaga de la Hoz.
A ten-minute transfer this morning will take you to Allende, where you’ll rejoin the Camino Lebaniego on its final section.
A short ascent will lead you to Cabañes, a quaint hamlet that boasts breathtaking views of the valley. Making your way through ancient chestnut woods, you’ll make your way to the medieval town of Potes. This is your final stop before your last few kilometres of trail, which leads to your destination of Santo Toribio.
You’ll traverse some gentle hills before finally descending down to the monastery of Santo Toribio. This will no doubt be a significant moment, and you’ll want to take some time here to enjoy the achievement.
Once you’ve spent some time enjoying the monastery, a private transfer will take you back to your hotel in Tama. Enjoy dinner tonight at your hotel.
Following breakfast, return to the airport to depart, bringing with you 5 days’ worth of amazing memories.
Please note that during high season, an extra night’s stay at the hotel in Tama is compulsory.
