Hiking

The Church of San Lorenzo is located in the town of Peñacastillo (Santander). It is a work of the architect Alfredo de la Escalera Amblard (1847-1928) and was inaugurated in 1897.

Hiking

Beautiful hike on the Camino del Norte. The paths are each marked with yellow arrows or on the ground with the typical Camino shell. This path leads along a railway track. The path is wide enough to avoid a train. This path is officially forbidden, but all pilgrims followed this path, so at their own risk. Alternatively, take the train for one stop. There are various hostels for pilgrims or possibly hotels. I chose Hotel. Overnight in Santillana del Mar at Hotel Colonial. Hotel recommended, right on the Way of St. James.
