My brother and I will be starting our Journey in Luarca around the 1st through 5th of August (spending some time in Barcelona, Roses, and Lourdes first). This will be our first Camino - we are both sooo excited. We are both moderate hikers (both uphill and level) and I'm a bit worried about the terrain on the coastal route. The concensus seems to be that it is a hard route - I live in the Pacific Northwest of the US and we have great hikes here with substantial elevation gains - can someone tell me what the general elevation gain is from day to day - I realize that it will vary greatly depending on where we are but a general idea would be super appreciated, especially from Luarca eastward (will it be days of uphill or even a full day of uphill at any point in time?)
Thanks so much and buen Camino!
