Information
About this stage
There are many alternatives to get to Santander. The first one is crossing the estuary from Pedreña’s pier, the second one also goes through the estuary but before it goes through Galizano and Loredo. The third option is to go through San Salvador and divide the stage into two.
Recommendation Pilgrim
The best option and the one that we recommend you is to cross the estuary from Somo or also from La Pedreña, but if you are traveling in winter or you don’t want to travel by boat you can go through the other way. There is a boat service available all year called pedreñera and it costs approximately two euros and a half.
