Hello fellow pilgrims!

I will hopefully be starting the Norte from Bilbao today/ tomorrow once I get my head round the walking route and more information. Is anyone else in Bilbao? It'd be grand to hear some tips or have some walking company too!

Buen Camino :)
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
I live in Bilbo. If you read this and want to meet up for a beer so I can answer any questions let me know.

Oh dear! I.hope you weren't the one with the brown bag? I got there at 7.05. It looks like we missed each other.
Sorry to be a pain butwould you recommend I start the Norte in San Sebastian? This will be my first Camino and although the route Frances is more recommended my instinct is saying do the coastal route? I feel unprepared but my instinct is saying do the Norte!
 
Don't know if you have al ready decided. It depends on how long you will stay there. We started from Bilbao, after sightseeing we went to Portugalete and go. We met other piligrins that started from Irun, and told that the vizcaya gulf coast is very very nice, but very strong ascents/downhill. However starting from Bilbao you will meet sooner fantastic landscapes. Buen Camino y desfruta la senda costera.
on my previuos post I set my feedback between the 2 caminos Just my opinion not sure it Can help you...by

You,ve probably missed your departure date, but go back to Irun or San Sebastian and start from there, that is the most beautiful part. Get on that train back East. And don't over think it, or things like this May happen again; it really is simple
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
