Link from Ruta do Mar to Camino del Norte
If walking the Camino del Norte it is possible to walk from Ribadeo on the Ruta do Mar along the coast, past As Catedrais, and then inland through Villaronte to the Basilica of San Martiño de Mondoñedo.
From San Martiño de Mondoñedo instead of going on towards Foz and the Ruta do Mar (signed Obispo Santo) you can turn south to Mondoñedo itself. The route should be marked 'Camino de San Rosendo', although it might be necessary to ask the directions from the Basilica to the first sign. This brings you back onto the Norte in Lourenzá and then to Mondoñedo. Follow the road into town and take the second exit at the roundabout just past the Hotel Montero (with private albergue). Pass the cemetery on your right and keep uphill between the houses, pass the Church of Santiago and follow the signs to the Cathedral. At the Fuente beyond the Cathedral the two variants of the Norte are signed. (Also on one of the approach roads to the Cathedral).
A further alternative is to walk the coast as far as Foz before turning inland and following the red Camino de San Rosendo signs. This too will bring you through to San Martiño.

Walking in 2018
Planning is going well for walking a few sections of the Camino del Norte and also the Camino do Mar. This latter is the route from Ribadeo heading west towards Ferrol which we walked in 2015.
So far we expect to stay in Suances (off Camino); Naves (near LLanes); Soto de Luiña; Viveiro (Camino do Mar); Mondoñedo; then head east again to Carao (on the LLanes to Covadonga link) and finally the Picos de Europa on our way home.
