I can't find a recent thread on the subject, and considering everything I figure we could use a new one.
I just spent the night at Fontenonaya and it was an absolutely wonderful Albergue experience. A privado, it's simple but super cozy and warm both figuratively and literally. Nicolas the...
Pulled into Santillana del Mar, where we'll be staying for the night. Ultimate goal is Primitivo and then FisMuxia.
Curious where all the other active walkers are currently hanging out.
Just a quick note to my fellow tent-livers as this was something I was super curious about prior to starting my trip.
First off, YES - you can absolutely camp pretty much every stage of the Camino del Norte. BUT - I can only speak to my own experience. For example, I don't know if this "trick"...
Currently on Norte and it's starting to look like we may need to yellow blaze a few stages in order to make it to Muxia by our end date of Oct 30.
If we had to bus or train past a stage or two, which would be the best ones to skip? Would it be better to skip one or two stages entirely, or just...

¡Hola! I'll be walking the Camino for the first time from roughly 20 Oct through 29 Nov and was originally planning on walking Norte, but the more research I do, the rainier and colder it sounds like it's going to be. It also sounds to be a lot more desolate, and while I'll be walking for...
