The breakfast I had here was one of my favorites on any Camino! Such a beautiful spread of food, all put out early so you can catch an early train... it's a great place!
I really loved staying at the albergue monastery in Ziortza (past Markina on what is typically the 5th stage of the Norte): Albergue de peregrinos del Monasterio de Zenarruza. The view and surroundings are beautiful, and they offer a simple communal dinner that is eaten outside (in nice weather...
This was back in 2016, but maybe he's still there: I got a wax stamp from an artist on the stage between Baamonde and Miraz. Here are a couple photos (second one is the outside of his shop/residence), and when I can hunt down my credential I'll see if the name of the place is on there!
Edit...
Thank you for letting me know! I'd just switched something in my blog settings yesterday and I think that might have been the problem; I've switched it back and I think the link should work now. Here it is again:

A couple years ago I wrote a 'part two' blog post for favorite albergues on the Norte, with some additions for the second half... here it is if you think it might be helpful! :) https://nadinewalks.com/2017/03/15/favorite-albergues-camino-del-norte-part-two/
I’m curious, about how many days did you need for this itinerary? With the exception of Toulouse to Oloron-Ste-Marie, I’ve walked all of these Camino routes (yes, you could say I’m an addict), but spread out over a number of years. If I could return to walk for a few months, this might be my...
Hello forum!
I am in Puente La Reina, having just finished the Camino Aragones (ahh, what an incredible Camino!), and am now planning to bus up to Irun to begin waking the Norte. I’ve walked it before- 4 years ago- and loved it.
Here’s my question, and I know there’s probably no “right”...
Joe, you may have been someone on this forum who gave me some of these recommendations in the first place!! I wanted to stop at Casa Belen, but when I passed by it was just too early in the day and I wanted to keep walking. But I stopped in for a few minutes and the place looked really beautiful...
This forum was such an amazing resource for me as I planned for both of my Caminos (Frances and del Norte/Primitivo). In particular, I got such great advice on albergue recommendations for the Norte and Primitivo, and I thought I would try to give some of that back! I kept a blog while on my...
Thank you for sharing your photos, I can't wait to look at them. And now that I'm home, I agree with you... my soul is still on the Camino (for me, it's on both the Norte and the Primitivo). What a great experience!!
Thank you for your message and Buen Camino :)

Hi Emile,
Sorry for the very late reply to this (finally getting home and settled after all the traveling!). You've asked a really, really good question: Norte or Primitivo. It's true that when I left the Norte, I was hesitant about my decision, and my first days on the Primitivo felt a little...
Hi Christina!
I walked the Frances last summer (June/July), and the Norte/Primitivo this summer (June/July), and have so many thoughts about the two experiences, although I'm still trying to sort it all out myself.
I really loved both Camino experiences, though they were very different. Other...
I'm about to branch off to the Primitivo tomorrow, but this walk on the Norte has been incredible. All the posts on this forum were so helpful in planning- and a big thank you to everyone who helped out with albergue recommendations. I've stayed in some pretty incredible places, and the kindness...
Does anyone happen to know of a (somewhat) convenient post office close to the Camino route in Oviedo? And the address? A friend wants to send me something along the way... this worked well for me last summer on the Frances (I picked up a small package in Leon), and I'd love if it could work out...
