    Lodging

    Oops! I really appreciate your helping me out. I don't want to be the cause of strife in the forum. It is my fault (if fault is to be assessed) for mixing it up in the forum, but I didn't know how else to pose the question except in one forum and reference the other Camino. My original plan...

    Lodging

    Dear Sweatyfeet, What time of day do you recommend arriving at the albergue? Thanks!

    Lodging

    Dear Trecile, That's true, but I am debating with my wife about whether she should walk the CF by herself (she has done it once before, but missed out on the experience due to severe knee pain and shin splints) or whether I should accompany her (I have done the CF twice). She is telling me...

    Thanks Vacajoe!

    Lodging

    Dear Marbe2, I am debating with my wife whether to do the CF with her or the Norte by myself (having done the SF twice already). Do you think that if I staggered my nightly stays between SJPDP and Pamplona that I would have more chances for a room. I have a block about reserving and, indeed...

    Lodging

    Dear Trecile, My wife and I are having a running debate over whether the Norte is a less "spiritual" than the CF. What is your opinion? Also, do you think that if we planned to "stagger" are nightly stops between tourist areas we would be okay with finding beds or are there not many albergues...

    Lodging

    Just to be clear (again), the congestion in lodging is vacation-seeker driven, not pilgrim driven, so in May I should be fine. Thank you so much!

    Lodging

    Just to be clear as the OP, the post was very poorly worded. I apologize.

    Lodging

    Yes, I am planning on walking the Norte, but was willing to change my plans if you all said that rooms were scarce on the Norte. It seems they aren't, so It's the Norte for me!

    Lodging

    Sorry for the confusion! I am planning to walk the Norte, but with an eye to CF, but Norte is the one I want to do.

    Lodging

    I have heard troubling reports (mostly my wife shouting down from upstairs while reading the forum) that lodging is a big issue on the Norte. We will be going in May of next year and if I have to worry about a bed, I just won't go. When I walked the CF a couple of years ago, this was beginning...

    Recommendation for Starting Point

    Thank you for your reply, Rick! The route you described from Sebastion airport sounds so easy that I'm tempted, but I think we're going to start in Biarritz just for the warm up. Of coure, we're warming up here in Vermont too, but winters are hard to find places to walk with all the snow (and...

    Recommendation for Starting Point

    Thanks Vacajoe! Yeah, it was hard enough to convince my wife to do the Norte due to all the urban congestion, so I think we'll leave from Biarritz.

    Recommendation for Starting Point

    Thank you for your reply! I think I'd like to start in Biarritz. Now, my only decision is how to get from St. Johnsbury, Vermont to Biarritz. I'd like to take the train, but the consensus seems to be that flying is the easiest way to go.

    Recommendation for Starting Point

    Hello eveyone! Thanks for all the great advice! It sounds like Biarritz is the place we'd like to start from. We'd love to take the train. What is the best airport to fly into where we could take a train into Biarritz? Madrid, Barcelona, or Paris? And currently, how busy has the Norte...

    Recommendation for Starting Point

    Hi Vascajoe! Is there cheap lodging available in either B/B? Albergues? Or inexpensive hotels or hostels? Thanks for you response!

    Thank you, Suzanne!

    Recommendation for Starting Point

    Hello! My wife and I walked the CF two years ago and now wish to do the Camino del Norte starting May 1 of next year. I understand that the official starting point for CDN is Irún, but there seem to be three other options: one from Bayonne, one from Biarritz and the other from SJPDP. Has...
