Byen Berria er bygget på en landtange, der blev dannet af duellerende nordenvinde. Stranden her er et populært udflugtsmål for dagsturister.

Notice

For enden af Berria deler caminoen sig. Dette er et af de sjældne steder, hvor den officielle camino måske ikke er den bedste løsning. Hvor hovedvejen drejer til venstre for enden af byen, drejer caminoen til højre ad en sti, der klatrer 100 meter op til toppen af El Brusco-odden. Selvom denne stigning giver en fremragende panoramaudsigt fra toppen, er det stejle sandede terræn ikke for sarte sjæle.

Alternativet er at følge vejen til Noja.

The Road

Den officielle camino over Alto de Brusco er ligetil. For at følge alternativet langs vejen skal du dreje til venstre i svinget for at følge en fodgængersti forbi den første rundkørsel. I den anden rundkørsel skal du holde til højre for at følge CA-141 i retning af Somo. Der findes flere varianter af caminoen på denne strækning, som ved et uheld kan føre dig væk fra Noja og til San Miguel de Meruelo.

Alle disse muligheder kræver, at du drejer til venstre fra CA-141, så hvis Noja er din destination, skal du holde dig på hovedvejen og ignorere alle venstresving. Når du forlader CA-141, er det til højre og markeret med Helgueras 2 km.

Hvis hverken Helgueras, Noja eller Castillo er på din dagsorden, kan du følge pilene til venstre og fortsætte direkte til 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.
