Boó de Piélagos is shaped by the Río Pas and the landscape at its mouth. Along the riverbank, the river and green meadows are visible, with the Cantabrian Sea in the background. At La Varilla, the Río Pas turns east shortly before it leaves Boó and flows into the sea. This provides a clear focus for trip planning by the water, alongside the walking and cycling path along the river, longer hikes and the Camino de Santiago del Norte, which passes through Boó. If you are looking for somewhere to stay overnight, you can first decide whether your stay will focus mainly on the river, a hiking route or the pilgrimage route.

Walking or cycling along the Río Pas

As of November 13, 2020, a one-kilometre walking and cycling path ran through Boó along the Río Pas. The path is not suitable for motorised vehicles such as cars, motorcycles or quads. One kilometre is a short distance and can be planned as a manageable part of a day by the water. Conditions may change, so check the current situation before your visit.

Hikes and the Camino del Norte

Two routes are options if you want to spend more time hiking. The Mirador de Piélagos route starts at the Albergue de Boo de Piélagos; its estimated duration is four hours. Bordeando el Tolío is estimated to take about four hours, and the additional climb is listed separately. The actual duration of the Mirador route may vary depending on conditions and pace. Taken together, the time estimates give an approximate four-hour timeframe for hikes; alongside these is the one-kilometre riverside path, a shorter route. This lets you decide whether your day should include a short walk by the water or a longer hike. The Camino de Santiago del Norte also passes through Boó and is another focus for travellers following this northern Camino route.

The river mouth within the wider natural area

In the wider Piélagos/Costa Quebrada area, the Parque Natural de las Dunas de Liencres y Costa Quebrada includes the mouth of the Río Pas and part of Monte Tolío. This regional perspective adds a broader landscape context to the view of Boó’s riverbanks, meadows and the sea in the background.
