La ciudad de Berria se ha construido sobre un istmo que se formó por duelos de vientos del norte. La playa aquí es un destino turístico popular de un día.

Notice

Al final de Berria, el camino se divide. Este es uno de los raros puntos en los que el camino oficial podría no ser la mejor opción. Donde la carretera principal gira a la izquierda al final de la ciudad, la carretera gira a la derecha en un sendero que sube 100 metros hasta la cima del promontorio de El Brusco. Aunque esta subida ofrece excelentes vistas panorámicas desde la cima, su terreno de arena escarpado no es para los débiles de corazón.

La alternativa es seguir el camino a Noja.

The Road

El camino oficial sobre el Alto de Brusco es sencillo. Para seguir la alternativa a lo largo de la carretera, gire a la izquierda en la curva para seguir un sendero peatonal más allá de la primera rotonda. En la segunda rotonda gire a la derecha para seguir la CA-141 en dirección a Somo. Existen varias variantes del camino a lo largo de este tramo, que pueden alejarte accidentalmente de Noja y de San Miguel de Meruelo.

Todas estas opciones requieren que gire a la izquierda de la CA-141, así que si Noja es su destino, manténgase en la carretera principal e ignore todos los giros a la izquierda. Cuando salga de la CA-141 estará a la derecha y está marcada Helgueras a 2 km.

Si ni Helgueras, Noja ni Castillo están en su agenda, puede seguir las flechas orientadas a la izquierda y continuar directamente hacia San Miguel.

I did the climb over the mountain from Berria Yesterday and it wasnt too hard. In sunny and dry weather this route is fine with a great view. But it looked too dangerous if rainy or wet at all

ein pilger hat sich heute auf dem berg den arm gebrochen, der weg ist wirklich sehr steil, schmal, gefährlich!! man kann sich nirgends richtig festhalten, die vegetation an den seiten besteht aus dornbüschen. wenn man keine lust auf gefährliches klettern hat oder es geregnet hat, dann besser die 2. variante der straße entlang nehmen!

The walk from Sotaña to Guermes is a hot mess of variants. Because of rain, we used google maps that routed us in a manner that did not follow to trails as outlined here but we were on roads marked with arrows the entire time. Our route ended up being 18 km total.

Climbed the headland after light rain and confirm it is difficult and best avoided when wet. Slippery sloped path, narrow in places.

Not the easiest trail, more so on the downhill than the climb. We did it on a very dry, warm day. I would avoid if wet, as it’s so rocky. There were lots of locals on the trail when we did it though. Well marked.

As others write, this is not an easy trail.
The weather was fine today but I still had to walk slow and was sometimes unsure where to step.
If the weather is just a little rainy or have been the day before I will not recommend the trail.

I failed to read comment above. This trail is not safe in or after a rainy day. Once you pass the sand, it turns muddy, slippery, and rocky. At points, is so narrow, that as you negotiate the muddy/slippery terrain you get stock by the thorny plants and vines. Poles are a most if it rain or is raining.

Completed the walk around the headland today. Perfectly acceptable on a dry day and if you’ve come this far already you should be fit enough easily. Poles help. There is clay in the soil so I expect that it could get slippery when wet. There are no exposed parts. The consequence of a slip or trip might be a bruise but not a fall. The headland suddenly rewards you with a view of both bays simultaneously. Well worth it. @caminobertie

I stayed in Watsay surf house hostal, which is on the Main Street and minutes from the beach. Plane was very clean with nice staff and big rooms. If you book through booking.com then they charge you for a blanket and towel so better to contact them directly. Dining options limited in Berria, but was recommended to visit “Cacao” in nearby Arganos which did amazing burgers. Ferry from Laredo doesn’t go till 9am so staying here lets you have an early start.
