    Coastal alternatives to the Norte's asphalt

    I walked this a couple of weeks ago. From memory I don't think there any very steep or arduous sections. My GPS tracker recorded just over 350m of ascent for the whole day so one of the easier days.

    Hendaye - Hondarribia Ferry

    Thanks for replies. Using Google maps walking from Irun is 6.1kms to the port at Hondarribia and approx 4kms using the Ferry so very marginal. My hotel is just over the bridge in Irun, just inside the Spanish border.

    Hendaye - Hondarribia Ferry

    I'm starting the Camino Norte on 28th August from Irun but I'm wondering what's the best way to get to Hondarribia (where I plan to follow the coastal GR route). I can see there is a ferry from Hendaye which might might save me a few kms but does anyone have any experience of how often this...

    Coastal alternatives to the Norte's asphalt

    Hi, I'm starting the Norte in Late August and I've started to look at some of these excellent coastal alternative suggestions as I'm a lover of great scenery. I have a question on the first stage - Irun to Pasajes. If I interpret my Cicerone guide book correctly the coastal alternative would...

    Camino del Norte in 28 days. Start in Bilbao or start in Irun and skip some stages?

    Thank you chaps. I will look into this. I had been planning top walk the Norte this year but am increasingly drawn to 2022 given the circumstances surrounding the pandemic.

    Hi, I couldn't find Vegadeo on my guidebook map and Google doesn't recognise it. Can you provide any more detail on this route please?

    Starting stamp

    I am planning on starting my Camino in Hondaribbia since it is convenient for the airport. Are there any recommendations for where to get a starting stamp in my credential?

    Late call to get boots back on

    Good luck with your Camino. I was planning on the Norte this April but have now postponed until April next year. Always good to have something to look forward to!

    Camino del Norte - Stages of 20-30km

    I was intending to walk the Notre this May and was planning to take 32 days. That would have necessitated 9 days over 30kms which did not overly concern me based on my experiences on the Francais last year. I'm 58, reasonably fit and try to be very well prepared by doing a lot of training walks...

    Del Norte in 30 days?

    Aged 58, I am starting next month and am planning on 31 days - walking every day. I completed the Francais in 32 days last year and felt I could have gone quicker. It really all depends on your fitness and how well your body holds up. I recommend plenty of training to get yourself in shape...

    Coastal alternatives to the Norte's asphalt

    Apologies if I have missed this but is there any advice on the coastal variant from El Bao (before Villapedre) to Navia? Looks like it would add around 6kms to the route from Luarca to La Caridad?
