When I walked from SJPD to Santiago, somebody suggested I bring a pair of hiking sandals besides my trail runners and my night/shower sandals which I found all 3 pairs super useful since it was the summer and a walk of 30+ days. It was nice to have a pair of sandals that protected your toes...
I understand the Camino del Norte has a lot of asphalt and I am grateful for the detailed notes from a couple of members to avoid it. I have the worst sense of directions and heavily relied on apps that showed me my location and where the Camino was when I walked my previous caminos. Any...
Any recommendations of stages for a person who does not read maps well and rather follows some well marked arrows to include both San Toribio and Covadonga as part of my Camino del Norte? I only have 30 days to walk. I would like to start in Irun and I don’t mind busing myself a bit to avoid...

I'm new to this forum and still a bit lost, so I hope I'm posting in the right place...
I'm so excited!!! I got tickets to Paris late in May and my return, early July from Santiago. Now... I'm ready to plan my route! I have 36 days to walk after three nights in Paris and Lourdes. I'm...
