[QUOTE="Myra Ramsay, post: 769984, member: 61861"] Walked the Del Norte in May/June this year. Found it tough at times but that was due to starting with injuries and wet days. As you will read, the walking after Bilbao becomes easier. Bilbao is worth two nights. Stayed in the old town. Plaza Nueva is lined with tapas bars. I tried to prove you could live on tapas whilst walking the Norte. Found I ate well. Being a small eater, I generally only took second course and sometimes postre. My request for some salad as well as patatas was always met. Everyone was so kind. Being a tortoise on the trail, I walked many short stages. Enjoyed the peace of solitary walking but met many wonderful people in the evenings. The evenings were long so stopping early gave me time to sightsee and unlike when I was on the Frances did not take a rest day after Bilbao. Take coastal paths when possible. (Check forum for some great info on coastal walking.) Locals told me to turn right in Miono instead of left along the road and through the tunnel as described in the guide book - a lovely cliff top walk all the way to Castro Urdiales. Stayed in a variety of accommodation (can give you my favourites if you pm). Booking ahead seems to be the norm these days. Only booked ahead when I thought there would be a bottle neck. Now I am home, my response to those who ask about the Camino del Norte is "it was a tough one but great" - and I turned 75 on this Camino - my fourth after getting hooked on the Camino Frances in 2016 followed by Portuguese from Porto and Ingles in 2017. With your fitness you should have no problems. [/QUOTE]
