THE NORTH PATH
After the discovery in the Campus Stellae of Apostle Santiagos rests at
the beginning of the IX century, the monarch Alfonso II promotes the
pilgrimage to the Holy Sepulchre, travelling himself there and gave
orders to build a small temple, becoming this way in the first pilgrim in his-
tory.
Protected by Carolus the Great with the intention of keeping his frontiers
away from the Muslim threat, a corridor along the Cantabrian Coast is built
which channels the first pilgrimage currents.
Coming from
France and Center
Europe, they came by foot
through Irun, with important contributions
by sea from England and the Nordic countries
through the many harbours along the coast. The
North Path, also called High Path opens, as a the
first St. James Route in which will converge the
new born European Paths, with the invisible
Water Paths.
After traveling across most part of the coastal, the
most used Compostelas turnoff at that moment,
bringing into memory the tour of the monarch
fromAsturias,departedfromSanSalvadortemple
in Oviedo, traveling through Leon and reaching
Santiago from inland, being recognized as the
Primitive route.
fter the down of the Roman Empire and the fall of the spiritual practices, the first European
kingdoms start to adopt the Christianity as their common religion, beginning a process of cul-
tural unifying that will crystallize in the 12th Century with the great medieval movements of
peregrination, meanwhile the Islamic threat was forced to move down to the south of the Iber ia
Peninsula. The two main destinations of these peregrinations were Rome, where the Apostle Saint Peter
founded the Catholic Church, and Santiago de Compostela, Spain Patron and symbol of the Christianity resistan-
ce facing the Muslims.
The two main destinations of these peregrina-
tions were Rome, where the Apostle Saint Peter
founded the Catholic Church, and Santiago de
Compostela, Spain Patron and symbol of the
Christianity resistance facing the Muslims.
Around these two destinations was formed the
Via Francgena, that spreads over the North of
France, picking up the achievements of the
Northern countries by passing the sea up to
Canterbury, and of the Eastern of Europe by the
Baja Renania and the Saint Jacobs Way, the
great peregrination route that first roams throug-
hout the cantabrian mountain range to settle its
way through Navarra, La Rioja and Castilla, once
this territory was known and the Monasteries that
helps the pilgrims was settled.
The cultural importance of these routes related to
the rise of Europe formed a key role as media of
transmission for the medieval knowledge which
from geography to medicine and from art to
Cantabria treasu-res a unique sce-nic and cultural
heritage, fountain of ins-piration of poets andartists and a peacefulbackwater of enjoymentfor quiet and beautylovers. This combinationof culture and nature goes
with the pilgrim that enters this welcoming land guided by thefaith or the simple and lovely spiritual devotion of discovering thediversity and cultural paths.
Travel through the crossroads that the Cantabria geography opensout jeans discover a unique landscape, full of art, cultural heritage,raw nature, gastronomic surprises and human stories.
Stories like the ones forged through centuries by pilgrims and tra-vellers that walked the routes of Saint James Route through thecoast and the ones that discover the greatness of the Liebana'sRoute to Saint Toribio of Libana..
Both pilgrimage routes show a link between Cantabria and theEuropean Paths of Pilgrimage, symbols of culture and concord. Alink that shines stronger after the great celebration of theLiebana's Holy Year in 2006/07 and the jubilee of Xacobeo 2010.
Collegiate Churches like Santillana del Mar and Cervatos; mozara-bic churches like Santa Mara de Lebea, romanics like Bareyo orgothic like the four Marys (San Vicente, Santoa, Laredo y CastroUrdiales) and the cathedral of Santander stands closet o the pil-grims route reside great historical groups and cultural milestonesfor them to enjoy our landscape and civilians.
An appropriate and well cared shelter network will guide the pil-grim through this landmark, from Altamira to our present, charac-terizes its hospitality and wants to be a meeting point for culture.

music was spread from one place to another leading for the first time in history to the creation of a com-
mon cultural identity all around the continent.
The important legacy retrieval has recently received a strong institutional support and a great
popular feedback which led to the development of services and products related to the route
and its knowledge. This legacy is well indicated and it has pilgrims' hostels all over.
And not only by the well known French Route but also in other mains historical routes such as the
Route along the Coast with leads
through the region of Cantabria
from East to West, or the route
Camino Lebaniego to Santo
Toribio, old version of the Saint
Jacobs Way which drives the
pilgrims to the LignumCrucis, one of the most impor-
tant Christian relicts that was pre-
served from the Muslim threat in the
mountains of Cantabria.

THE NORTH PATH
THROUGH THE COAST (9 stages).
Jubilar Ways in Cantabria
From the X Century, with the withdrawal of the
Arabs to the South and due to the cluniacenses
influence, a new path was forged from La Rioja
and Castilla in favor to their powerful monaster-
ies, and from that moment the most used path,
even more, it avoided the winding route of thecoast and its steep north mountains. The
Santiagos Route (St. James Route) was defini-
tively established, opening the doors to an
extraordinary cultural exchange that trans-
formed the medieval world.
This French Path promoted from Cluny,
became in this way in the most commonly
accepted, although the Cantabrian Route never
lost its validity as a renown and traditional
Route,withthecountlesschurches,hospitalsor
shelters, built afterwards with full of references
to Santiago or the pilgrimage itself.
Nowadays, and due to the great cultural
demand and to the reborn public interest for
these historical routes, different associations of
Santiagos Route friends, along with the con-
stant actions of the north regions
Governments, started a revitalization process,
signalling and providing services to the old paths, that have
transformed the Coastal option in a powerful alternative to the
conventional route.
The amount of integrative elements that merge in these routes
(art, religion, tourism, international exchange, sports, etc),
makes a growing value and multiplies its appeal.
The Coast Route in Cantabria crosses the region in nine stages,
from East to West, going through sailor or country villages, full
of historical milestones as Castro Urdiales, Laredo, Santoa,
Santander, Santillana del Mar, Comillas o San Vicente de la
Barquera, offering in all of them shelter for pilgrims and tourist
information offices, in addition to the green landscapes and
the spiritual serenity that our region offers to all hikers that
wishes to travel this way.
The CrucenoRoute to Santo Toribio de Liebana
The immemorial link of Cantabria with the Santiago
Route, acquire in the region a dimensional addition,
as although this is the first and most secure route to
the Apostle tomb, pilgrims visited the Santo Toribio de Libana
Monastery before continue towards Santiago.
For this reason, and without leaving Cantabria, they begun the
Camino Lebaniego o Camino Cruceno (Lebaniego
Route or Cruceno Route),througha coursethatintwo jour-
neys world drive them from around San Vicente de la
Barquera, throughout the hills that separate the Nansa and
Devas basin, to the unbroken stronghold of the Christians, as
a must for visiting due to its special importance.
supported by a great number the high standing performances in all range cultural and religious. It
meant a worldwide projection never before achieved, becoming it in a big attraction spot, getting a
historical reception feedback, not only by pilgrims moved by the spiritual fact but also for visitors
interested in the quality cultural tourism, as apart of the strict religion phenomenon , Liebanas
Valleywhich holds the Monastery, is one of the most beautiful mountain regions of Spain, and there
you can find, apart from the overwhelming landscapes of the Picos de Europa and a privileged surround-
ings, a complete offer in hotels, cultural heritage, touristy and gastronomy of high standing, and also a count-
less places of interest that turns this destination into and outstanding choice.
Stage 1: El Haya de Ontn - Castro-Urdiales ( 15,7 Km )
IUnbelievable landscapes of the mountains and of the Cantabrian shore. The route departs from the territorial limit bet-
ween Cantabria and the Vasque Country, climbs up through the Baltezana's channel to the Helguera's height, and after
going through the wooded Valley of Otaes, it gets to Santullan. From here, through Samano, we reach Castro Urdiales
coming in from the Brazomar beach.
The Castro Urdiales' medieval architectonic collection, placed by the harbour, is made of the Gothic church of Sta. Maria de
la Asuncion, the lighthouse castle, The Old Bridge and Santa Ana's chapel.
The surroundings of the Harbor and Puebla Vieja, of great sailor taste, are the good places to enjoy the fish and seafood from
the Cantabrian Sea, especially the anchovies, it any of its many typical taverns. The Seafront Walk and the center of the Village
shows a northern landlord view, with some houses, villas and peculiar buildings with modernistic style like Royal Hotel, the
Palace of the Chelines or the Ocharan's one.
The city counts the Pilgrim's shelter and a complete hotel offer.
For more than a thousand years now, Santo Toribios
Monastery keeps within its walls one of the most
appreciated Christian: the Lignum Crucis.
The biggest known piece of the Holy Cross, was
broughtto Leoninthe VcenturyfromHolyLand, moved
afterwards to this hidden refuge in the IX century, to keep it
from desecration.
So, St. James pilgrims of the Coast Route, turned into crucenosnow in their
lebaniego journey, abandon for a few days the constant proximity of the Cantabria sea
replacing it by theimpressive guard of thePicos deEuro pas limestonepeaks to go into the
very Herat of Liebanas Valley kneeling down the Sacred Relic of the Holy Cross.
Based in the ancestral tradition, and due to the Papal Bull granted by Julio II in 1512, came
to confirm an ancient practice living this Monastery the category of holy place for pilgrim-
age. From now on, when Saint Toribio coincides in Sunday, it would be considered by the
Church as a Holy Year, offering full indulgence to every pilgrim that attends, gaining the
Jubileo and obtaining the forgiveness to all committed faults.
This outstanding condition was the leading role in a huge and without precedents public-
ity campaign by the Cantabria Government in the last Lebaniego Holy Year 2006/2007 ,

Angeles is a must, and few rests of the old pil-
grims hospital, El Castillo del Rey and the anti-
ques defensive walls remains.
With a very sea taste, San Vicente's village is very well
known by its food offer, soured directly from the fish
market, that feeds of seafood and fresh fiches many of
the local restaurants.
The Pilgrim's shelter is placed in the Claretiano's

Santiago's Route and in the Lebaniego's Route t Santo
Toribio.Thecityis equippedwithallkindsof hotelsand
also with campings in the close beaches. If you wish,
you can extend the stage 8 km more up to Serdio's pil-
grim shelter.
Stage 9: San Vicente - Unquera(14 km.).
Santiago's routeleaves Cantabria in unquera toget into
Asturias. Last journey goes through the villages of La
Acebosa, Serdioand Pesues, alter crossingthe rivers of
Tina Mayorand Tina Menos. The bridgeof Pesues states
the limit with theneighbour region, inwhich thepilgrim
will find attheen d of the stage and therest. Colombres
shelter, butalready in Asturias.
From here, a new clim up to Collado Arceon,where soon we will start a step downhill to LaHermida narrow pass, enjoying one of themost impressive panoramic views of Picos deEuropa and of an unforgettable view over thelimestonegorgein whichbottomflowstheres-tless waters of Deva River.
The descent, that will demand some attentionin some places, in order not to loose the trace,finishes in Lenea, where it is keep one of themost valuable artistic jewels of the region:
Santa Maria de Lebea's church (X Century).Odd example of Visigoth art in the Cantabrianregion, includes decorative elements of Celticand Asturias influence, and arranges guidedvisits.
Options from Lebea:
Leaving the village, just reside the bridge thatcrossesDevariver,we havewalked15 KmfromLaFuente,andwe willbeat 8,5KmfromPotes.From here, three options exist: the first one is walking along the road the first 3,5 Km andpass to step again the path in Castro-Cillorigo.It is the least demanding but maybe the most
dangerous because of the narrownest of theroad. It is recommended to be extremely cau-tious, and to use security cloths.
The second option is a mountain path put upsigns between Lebea and Castro calledCamino Alto, that passesclosetotheriver butto major height. We take the beginning of theway close to the last houses of the village and we initiate the ascension for the curves ofPea Ventosa. Later, we advance a section inparalell to the river up to the electric tower,
andwego downfollowingtheelectricalline.Itis a necessary certain agility in some sections,but we must cross the way in less than twohours, and we will have avoided the danger ofwalking along the road
The third option is more mountain oriented,andwillallowus toknowvillageslike Allende,Cabaes and Pendes, avoiding traffic and enjo-ying great views of Liebana's Valley.
The differents options can be summarize likethis::
Option 1. Walk 3,5 Km by the narrow passroad or preferably Camino Alto up to Castro-Cillorigo, where we will retake the paths and
sleep in any of the multiple lodgings in thedifferent locals previous to the ( Castro,Tama, Ojedo,etc..), or directly reach Potesand its Pilgrim's shelter.. ( Total stage LaFuente-Potes : 23,5 Km + 4km to SantoToribio ).Option 2. Go back a few meters along theroad from Lebea up to Allende's crossing,and climb towards Cabaes ( 5,5 Km.) follo- wing the signposting. Sleep there ( Privateshelter ) and getting into Potes and Sto.Toribio in the next journey.
(Total stage La Fuente-Cabaes:20,5Km)+Stage 3
Stage 1 : From San Vicente de la Barquerato La Fuente ( Lamasn )(27,5 km.).
In the first stage we will move away fromthe Cantabria caostline leaving behind San Vicente's marsh in south direction, going
throughLaAcebosa,up theAltodela Rejoyaandbeginning the downhill to meet Rio Nansa fromBielva. The path goes through quiet ruralsurroundings that will progressively get us closeto the mountains, especially after crossing theArrudo Bridge, in Herrerias County.
Alter leaving behind Cades, where we Hill find avery interesting iron mine, we will go uphill to afew visited mountain road, walking along theriver up to Quintanilla Lamason crossing, wherewe can chose between various hotels with diffe-rentpricesina smalllocalvillagewithgreatchar-ming, or continue a soft going up of about three
kilometres to La Fuente, where we find the pil-grim's shelter.
In the proximities, the Romanic church of LaFuente, is of great interest, from XIII Century.Beside it, over the a hose wall, we can find " LaPareja de Lamasn ", a peculiar sculpture of XVII century, with an also peculiar plate dated1625.
Stage 2: From La Fuente-Sto Toribio (27,5Km.) or L a Fuente-Cabaes (20,5 Km.) +Stage 3
Looking for the dividing water whiting theDeva's river basin, we will gain altitudethrough a mid mountain path, with the
proper signpost and flanked by woods, fieldsand yards, with high presence of cattle.
We crown the strong uphill up to Collado deHoz, where we already discern Cicera's village,alsowitha brandnewPilgrim'sshelterandmanylocal lodging.
Stage 3:from Cabaes to Santo Toribio (13 km.).
We climb down from Cabaes throughPendes to Castro-Cillorigo, where inLiebana's Valley wide opens a lowland,
leaving behind the narrow pass. In a pleasant walk we will cross Tama (where an interestingvisitor's centre of Nacional Park of Picos deEuropa is placed) the village and the roundaboutof Ojedo, and finally Potes.
Just reside the church of San Vicente we find theCentro de Estudios Lebaniegos, with thePilgrim's Office and with a permanent show offacsimiles of middle age texts known as Beatos,and from here also is manager the PilgrimsShelter placed in city centre, resides the Torredel Infantado.
At 4 km from this place, finally awaits SantoToribio de Liebana's Monastery.

Pilgrimage is a long journey or search of great moral significance. Sometimes, it is a journeyto a shrine of importance to a person's beliefs and faith. So it is a personal commitment ofthe pilgrim to provide him or herself with whatever is needed (food, shelter, etc.) to reachthe goal.
In order to get to the Cantabrias Cluster of Pilgrim Shelters is mandatory to show the dif-ferent Pilgrims Oficial Credentials.
To be considered a Pilgrim it is necessary to travel on foot, by bike, or by horseback.
Credentials are given by Church, and Friends of Camino de Santiago or Camino LebaniegoAssociations. Cancillera del Obispado: Plaza de Eguino y Trecu n1, Santander. Telephone:942 36 73 95.
The credential doesn`t grant any right itself. It just identifies its owner as a Pilgrim. Thisdocument can be withdrawn due to a bad use of it or non-fulfilment of the rules.
All the conditions and particular schedules of each shelter will be set up by their responsible.
The person responsible of the shelter`s criteria of admission will prevail considering the per-son needed most. Usually walking pilgrims have priority over those who travel by bike or byhorseback.
Groups travelling with vehicle assistance have no priority at all, and will only be admitted ifthere are rooms left following the criteria of the person responsible.

Pilgrims routesto Santo Toribio
The uneven topography of the Picos de
Europa and of the Cantabrian Range geo-graphically demarcs Liebana's Valley and
determine the access to Saint Toribio from the nearregions of Asturias, Castilla and Leon. In spite ofthis, there are many historical references that
endorse the existence of tour main pilgrim's routesto Saint Toribio Monastery.
Recently signposted as PR (small tour routes) insideLiebana's path network, these routes flow throughdifferent ways, depending on the origin zone:
Castillian Route: with historical background in anold Roman road, this path would be the extensin
to Libana, also called "Va de Burejo", that go upriver of the same name to Dehesas de Montejo,
where the roman archeological site of El Otero isplaced. The logical continuation through Cervera de
Pisuerga, will face the access to Liebana fromPiedrasluengas or from Sierras Albas to descent byCabezn de Libana to Potes, not without stoppingby Santa Mara la Real de Piasca.
Leonesa Route: the borderline with Leon Region is markedby the steep hills of Pea Prieta surroundings and the central
mountain mass of Picos de Europa, with heights that fre-
quently overpass the 2000 meters. The main path would beSan Glorio Pass and World have high middle age originwhen Libana belonged to Leon Kingdom and was a
very populated area.
Asturias Route: The most complex, as it goesthrough Picos de Europa. It went by
Cabrales' Council through the CarouPath finishing in Sotres, and from heresurrounding the Oriental MountainMass through the north path getting
into Bejes, to cross Pelea's cut anddescending to the valley fromCabaes and Pendes.
Coastal Route ( Liebana's Path ): TheLiebana's turnoff from the Coastal Route to
Santiago begins in Hortigal, in Val de SanVicente's county, to ascend by Herrerias, Lamasonand Pearrubia, climbing down from Cicera toLebea and going up Deva's river to Potes.
CANTABRIA'S LINK WITH THE FRENCH ROUTE. BESAYA'S PATH
The old Roman Road that linked Castilla with the sea in Portius Blendium
( nowadays Suances ), was from the beginning an important communica-tion way between Cantabria and the center of the country. With the
peak of the French Path from XII Century, this route World mainly beused as link between the main Cantabric abbeys and the Saint
Jacques Route by Castilla, joining in in Carrion de los Condes.
Merging the Santander Cathedral with Santillana del Mar, the Route
World go up Besaya's river passing by Torrelavega , through a path withlots of Romanesque art, a the great church of Santa Mara de Yermonear Riocorvo, San Facundo and SanPrimitivo's church in Sili, San
Cosme and San Damin's churchin Pie de Concha, or the extraor-
dinary Romanesque CollegiateChurch of Cervatos, in the
limit with Castilian land.
