    Pre-booking & post-Easter (2025) numbers on the Norte

    Hi all, and thank you in an advance for your time and consideration :) I'm very much in my "Camino dreaming" phase, but next year I'll be looking to pre-book some of my accomodation for my planned Norte-Primitivo-Verde pilgrimage. My plan is to start gently from Bayonne and do mostly 15-25km...

    Best shoes for Irún to Bilbao stretch; trail runners or walking boots?

    I'm not planning on taking a sleeping bag (staying at hotels, etc). Might allow a bit extra weight for shoes? I have a long time to test and curate my gear before it's time to go :)

    The hardest camino route? Need advice!

    Looking at your bio and where you've been - Could I ask: For a first timer on the Way (and in Spain) would you recommend doing the full Norte or the Norte-Primitivo? I know a northern way is for me, so I will be starting at Irun regardless. Still haven't decided on an April or late September...

    Looking for Advice on Timing to Walk Camino del Norte/Primitivo

    I'm also weighing up between April and September starts for my first Camino. I think spring flowers & young animals would be beautiful on the route, but when I go, I think it will end up being September. ( I hope there are not accomodation difficulties early Sep through to October. I am hoping...
