Information
About this stage
his stage is marked by the existence of several alternatives for arriving at the Llanes seamanship. We will be able to follow the route of the coast, visiting the famous bufones de Arenillas and passing by Andrín or turning off, from Pendueles, along the traditional path that goes further inland. Both options converge about three kilometres before reaching Llanes, a town with a great artistic and natural heritage, with the Conde de la Vega del Sella palace standing out.
Recommendation Pilgrim
There are two possibilities to get to Llanes, the one that we recommend is the one that goes near the coast because we believe that is more beautiful, but it doesn’t go through the original way. The other way goes near the national road.
If you go through the coastal way you have to know that there are few services between Pendueles and Andarín.

Itinerary
You will leave Colombres through Pío Noriega and Francisco Sánchez streets to get to the national road. Then you will have to continue on the road being very careful with the traffic and always wearing reflective clothes if you are travelling at night or if it rains. You will go through Peral and La Franca, this village has a small beach that when the tide falls connects with the other beaches: El Oso, El Viveru, and Rogorgueru. Moreover you will find there a camping called Playa de la Franca that offers many services to pilgrims. You will continue towards Tresgrandas leaving the N-634 and getting to a path near the train rails. You will have to continue straight forward and then cross a bridge and return to the road a little bit after. Here you won’t find any kind of service. So if you need to buy something you will have to change a little bit your route. Once you get here you can decide to go through Buelna or Peldunes or go through Andrín. If you want to follow this way you will have to follow the red and white marks that indicate a parallel path a little bit longer than the original one. So from now you have two options: continue through the established route or continue through the GR-E-9.
