    Coastal alternatives to the Norte's asphalt

    It’s my first Camino and I’m enjoying it!

    Coastal alternatives to the Norte's asphalt

    Thanks for the heads up! Sometimes a variant alternative route that may be more scenic and beautiful is not necessarily a wise alternative for an average hiker especially if the weather condition is not decent. I’m in Deba now and heading on out tomorrow. Thanks again!

    Best app to accurately record distances, elevation and descent per day

    Strava app is what you’re looking for including distances, elevation, average speed, etc. I use Garmin Instinct watch that I sync with Strava app in my iPhone. I like it a lot.

    Coastal alternatives to the Norte's asphalt

    Hi Laurie, I'll be doing the Norte in the middle of next month April. Do you think that after 7 years since you did it that one can find their way to and from the coast OR a GPS is a must? Thank you!

    Latest guidebook for the Norte

    Coastal alternatives to the Norte's asphalt

    Hi Laurie, thanks for providing the alternate coastal variant routes for the Norte in 2017. Has there been any route changes since then? I’m doing my first Camino (Norte) on April 18 and I’d like to stay away from pavements and be by the coast as much as possible. I have the time to explore...

    A busy April?

    Multiple coastal variants indeed. Thank you Peter!

    A busy April?

    Camino Del Norte. Day 1 is April 18 from Irún. I’ll be journaling daily using Day One app where I take photos, videos, audio record memories and transcribe text everyday for future sharing of the entire Camino with family and friends. It’s the first time I’m using the Day One app. I’m using...

    A busy April?

    For those with time and money, how do they prepare mentally and physically? I’m 69 years of age.

    A busy April?

    What would be the main reason(s) that many people who start at SJPDP don’t plan to go all the way to Santiago in 1 trip?

    Rain...rain pants?

    Thank you so much for the website on historical forecasts and weather. It gives me a better perspective on what the weather can be like. I realize the day to day weather can change.
