    Camino Norte Adventure book

    This past summer, my wife and I walked the Camino Norte. It was our first Camino and we really enjoyed it. We found the scenery to be very beautiful, the food outstanding (for the most part), and the challenge something we will never forget. After returning home, I decided to turn my previous...

    Need advise on avoiding the drop off area before getting to Laredo from Liendo. Also, how bad is the climb out of Playa de Berria? Is it dangerous or scary?

    Does it get better?

    My wife and I just completed 2 days of hiking on the Norte. We are now in Zarutz. What I find the most challenging is all the steep rocky hills. Is it steep and rocky throughout or does it start getting easier? I know the Norte is the hardest Camino. I can take steep but steep and rocky is...

    Snow on the Norte in June?

    My wife and I just got to Irun today June 9 and have heard there is snow on the route and have seen a website showing snow in the forecast. Can anyone confirm this, especially if you are walking the Camino and happen to see this post? I am concerned the Camino may not be safe if it is snowing.

    Scared of heights

    I just did a hike which had no handrail and there were parts that were narrow and high in the air. There were parts where I was concerned about slipping or stepping wrong and falling to my death. Are there parts of the Norte like this? I am interested in the Norte but I don’t want to do it if...

    Should I bring a computer?

    I am use to traveling with a computer but not use to long distance hiking. My computer weighs 3 lbs. I would use it for booking the next night's stay or finding places to eat and maybe blogging. My wife and I are traveling in Europe before we do the walk so it would be nice to have but...

    Getting in shape for the Norte

    My wife and I are preparing for walking the Camino in June. We are doing some long walks now of 8-10 miles to prepare. We don't live in an area that has any hills so it's hard to prepare for any steep hills. Does anyone have any suggestion for that?

    Shirts and underwear

    Ok, this may seem like a strange question but I'm getting ready to hike the Camino Norte in mid-June. I have convertible pants and a good pair of hiking shoes (Alta trail shoes). Any suggestions on shirts and underwear. It seems a lot of people swear by anything made with merino wool but its...

    Reserving rooms

    My wife and I are planning to do the Camino del Norte in the summer. We were looking at some of the hotels along the way. We are planning to stay in mostly private rooms either in a hotel or albergue that has private rooms. How do most people reserve rooms? Do people just wing it as they go...
