    Walking from Vitoria south

    Great walk I would love to do this part again..well marked. Between Salinillas de Buradon and Haro is a hill mentioned in some guides and the gradient up is OK. The view from the top is wonderful. We stayed at a place in Brinas .which is just before Haro...in an octagon shaped multistory...

    The Tunnel Route

    Hi Yes you will see my other posts on this route in this section. Well marked and you may need alternate accommodation but a lovely lovely walk. You may not see any other pilgrims but I hope you do. May take longer than 5-6 days...dont forget to write all about it.

    Vasco del Interior - impressions and photos

    Hi Tom Great photos and great summary. We walked in June 2013 and your accommodation guide certainly has up to date info. We enjoyed the Basque food very much and also a highlight was the cathedral in Vitoria. We met 1 other pilgrim. Thanks Jill

    En Route!! Vasco: Etapes 8 - Like Guidance!!

    Hi there We walked to Santo D in 2013 on this route and walked from La Puebla de A to Brinas in one day. It was well marked to follow arrows. We walked through Salinillas and didn't stop because it was too early in the day. The hill after Salinillas , Portillo de la Lobera , in fact, has a...

    Anyone tried the Mountain variant via Zerain?

    Hi tom We walked the tunnel route in 2013. We walked Besain to Zegama and then at Segura we went up into the mountains through a lovely forest as suggested by our CSJ guide...BUT it wasn't the route as suggested by Gronze...the CSJ detour was actually on the opposite side of the track to the...

    To Burgos or Santo Domingo?

    Hi laurie We walked to Santo Domingo instead of Burgos in June 2013 mainly because we were not well prepared for the Burgos path stages (ie no guidebook) and our Spanish is not good. I think it would have been really interesting to do that. However the way we took was interesting too and not...

    Irun to Santo Domingo

    Hi we walked this way in June 2013 and I have written about it in this forum. Signage is good. Food is great. Tolosa is a nice town and Vitoria is worth an extra day to look around especially the cathedral they are restoring. Haro is a nice place too. We had 2 days of rain at the beginning...

    Irun to Burgos

    We walked this way this year in June and used the CSJ guide. The way is well marked so you can just follow arrows but it would be worth the CSJ guide for accomodation as well as that guide recommended by Canuck- which looks good too. There are a few Pilgrim Alburgues along the way. Basque is...

    Cutting my teeth on the Tunnel Route..

    Hi Scott - I understand how hard it is with the language and the solitary nature of the walk-but you will be in Vitoria-Gastiez now which is a great city. From Vitoria there are less villages and the cafes maybe closed so a packed lunch is a good idea. After Vitoria we saw a few locals out for...

    Cutting my teeth on the Tunnel Route..

    Hi Scott We (from Adelaide) walked this tunnel way in June of this year. We have left from Irun twice, (once for the camino norte and once for this way) each time arriving to the city by train. There is a pilgrim alburgue in Irun where you collect your credential - opens after 4pm-ish. This...

    DAY 9 Just arrived Brinas walked from La Pueblo deA - again a beautiful walk and well signed . It was hot today 30 degree and by 2 pm and we had arrived at Sallinas BUT due to us not understanding Spanish very well we couldn't figure out if we could stay at A/T even though the Alburgue was today...

Jean-Marc just aftersubillana on the hill walk there is a way marked with yellow poles and another with white...

    Day 5 from Besain to Zegama. Getting really warm now. The first part of the walk to Segura was beautiful and up in the hills so not much hard surface. Very picturesque. Then from Segura we chose to go on an unmarked alternate way or diversion (approx 7.5 km) - as detailed in our guidebook - to...

    Camino tunnel route started

    DAY 3 Hernani to Tolosa and no rain today. Today's walk was almost all on footpaths and like one continuous town plus a lot of industry. However it has been very enjoyable, almost flat, well marked and for us a contrast to the 2 previous soggy days. We have not seen other pilgrims but many...
