      oursonpolaire replied to the thread Stops on Camino del Norte.
      You can walk whatever distance/day works for you. In the first week from Irun to Bilbao, the trek can require a certain degree of vigour, and there are few albergues. You should being with short stages (well, I would) and realize that you may...

      I've just noticed this thread-- I did the Castellano Aragones a few years ago and I am not surprised to hear that not much has changed. I really liked the small townsall along the way, full of history (I like that) with Borgias and the Civil...

      I think the clergy are happy as long as we are not barefoot, but will likely overlook even that.

      oursonpolaire replied to the thread 4-day 1st- time Camino..

      oursonpolaire replied to the thread Vertigo.
      I am vertigo-sensitive, but the only two spots which concerned me was climbing El Brusco, east of Noja-- just take the road instead; and the bridge over the Rio Eo on the Galicia/Asturias frontier-- I have always taken a taxi. Everything else...

      Walk what you can at a pace which suits you best. You may not be able to reach Santiago this time, but there is often another year to finish it-- this is very common practice among Europeans. Or, as others have sugggested, start closer to...

      Quite feasible. Buses are principally from towns, but usually stop in each village twice a day, to pick up passengers going into town, or to deliver them in the later afternoon. Diligent use of rome2rio.com will usually inform you, but if you...

      There are a bit more woods on this variant. At Luquin you will find nice bar.

      Not suggesting that you had expectations!! Budget planning is very legitimate. I was writing more for the information of a general readership (and, I fear, a few pilgrims I have met whose notion of the Camino included lots of cleverness!!)...
