    Accommodation issues on the Norte ?

    If you have a pretty good idea of your itinerary, and usually the first week of the Norte is pretty locked in. I would definitely go for 3 to 4 days in advance almost no downside.

    Orio to Zarautz

    Hi everyone, we just walked it and we found the trail and it was forested and well worth it. We saw people walking along the road, not much of a shoulder and given there is so much payment on the Norte. I would avoid the road if possible.

    Taxi availability on Norte?

    Hi Mary - my wife and i are 64 and we start the Norte late April. As mentioned above I think taxi's are fairly ubiquitous but you plan of taking your time is the best startegy. Norte has a lot of hills and a lot of pavement...but a lot of beauty. Buen Camino

    Bilbao to Portugalete

    Thank you for such a detailed answer, much appreciated. I think i will look into the "award winning" metro and start early, planning a 30km walk Castro Urdiales. And i will take you advice on the Guggenheim as you're right it all depends on your interests. Thx again - very very helpful.

    Bilbao to Portugalete
