Hi Dave, how are you? I'm in Luarca tonight and finding it very interesting and keep thinking about the uphill hike in the morning
Thank you for your speedy reply, you've talked me into it! Yes, now I think of it, it would be a shame to have the Norte incomplete, I'd probably want to return and...
Hi there! I am currently on the Camino del Norte route, travelling to Luarca tomorrow. Was wondering, as I completed the Camino Primitivo last year, would it be a better option to walk until Ribadeo then bus to A Coruna or el Ferrol and finish on the Camino Ingles. Just wondering.
Thanking you...
Tks for the rundown Margaret. I did the Camino Frances in 2013 alone, I stayed in pensions and hotels etc where possible, if not available I stayed in an albergue. I never prebooked anywhere.

Thank you all so much for the extremely detailed responses, I'm overwhelmed to say the least. I shall
feel very confident when I land in Bilbao. Although this is my third Camino, I've only used this site scantily. I've never actually signed up hence not made any posts. I'm delighted now that I...
My son and I arrive in Bilbao on 30/5 at 1000 hours and wish to go by bus from the airport to Irun to commence the CdelN on 31/5..
Is it necessary to book the ALSA bus beforehand? I am wary of doing this just in case the plane is late arriving. It is apparently the bank holiday weekend in the...
