    Route from Castro Urdiales to Santander

    The ferry cuts out about half a day of walking. We took it. Sorry I don't know about Ajo, we stayed just outside Laredo and then in Santander.

    Luxury digs Walk and Horrero on the Norte

    From the April 2016 Conde Nast Traveller. The Ribadeo public albergue is great, but only 10 beds. Sleep in a fancy corn crib! The article says hostels and hotels are "mediocre at best." Hmm. Not for the pilgrim crowd. App is Walk and Horrero.

    Suggestions for Detailed Camino del Norte Maps?

    Follow the arrows! Ask the locals. On the Norte, don't take the arrows marked "biki"or "bici" for the bike route. It takes you away from the hiking path and onto the roads. Maybe that's why people think the Norte has so many road sections?! You may want to start in Hendaye, France, and walk...

    Is tent needed on Camino del Norte?

    Hi @Catalin Bulancea no to the tent, especially not in April, as it will not be crowded. Also there is not frequently a place to pitch it (a big no on private land.) If worst came to worst you can taxi ahead to an albergue and back to where you left off the next morning. Don't miss the...

    Why Norte over traditional France

    I love the sea, and walking with a child made the varied landscape of the Norte more interesting for him. Frequent swims helped, too! The side trip to Oviedo was a great highlight for us.

    Starting out Sunday Camino del Norte

    You may also get a stamp at the church in Hendaye, just up the hill from the train station and to the left. Ultreia!

    Crowding on the Camino del Norte

    Last month Pobena was overcrowded, 42 people in 22 spots. Other than that as far as Oviedo not a problem in June 2014. Many may be closed by September.

    From Biarritz to Irun

    There is a helpful info desk near baggage claim. I took the bus last week from the airport to Hendaye for 2,40 and it was a nice ride through St Jean de Luz. Then walk across the Pont St Jacques into Irun. No need for train. Buen camino! Heading westward on the norte

    LIVE from the Camino Tunnel closed heading into Castro on the Norte

    Looks like it has been for a while, but leaving the beach you have to go up and over to get to the promenade. You can ignore the arrows at the first row of apartment blocks, go left onto the street, follow signs to town center and rejoin the camino on the promenade without wandering on the sand...
