Two of us will be walking from Santander to Ribadesella mid August and we are happy to pay for our bags to be delivered for us. We did this last year on the French route and it was super easy to organise and very cheap.

I thought I had this all figured out, but I have ended up with 2 train tickets from San Sebastian (I don't even know if it's the airport or the town) to Irun, instead of ONE that goes all the way...
Hi! I’m a Camino newbie planning on walking Camino del Norte this May-June. I have previous hiking experience and do well on longer distances and so on, but not any super recent multi day long...
