[QUOTE="peregrino_tom, post: 614858, member: 4307"] It's really just the Lebaniego up to Potes that has some variations as the Cantabrian authorities made some changes a few years back. Most of the old markers are still visible. They're a deep red. There's more about this on other threads. I use Gronze too and I think it's excellent for the Vad and Salvador. I stuck to the waymarked routes for the Vad (after Fuente De) and Salvador. I think there's less asphalt on the first part of the Norte, than the route you have planned here to Oviedo, but I have to repeat, I don't think you should make asphalt your main concern. The Norte has some asphalt but it's so much more than that. You're on a camino forum so people like me are going to tell you to forget about measuring asphalt and, for a first camino, do one that has more tangible camino trappings about it. The best thing about the camino (and sometimes the most exasperating) is the people. The sceneray, hills and seascapes are just the backdrop to the drama - and that's the hardest thing for a hill walker who is new to the camino to get their head around, especially when making first plans from a distance. But it is true. Start on the Norte at Irun and I almost guarantee that once you've fallen into step with others doing the same thing, mucked in together at albergues, walked over the Jaizkibel mountain, experienced San Sebastian and then those fishing (and ancient whaling) villages of Zarautz and Getaria and slogged over the hills to Deba, you will have pretty much forgotten all about asphalt - provided you have Reb's comfy insoles!
