Hello,
Friends who started in Irun three days ago report back to me that there are much more pilgrims on the Norte than expected. Up till now they had difficulties finding a place to stay and had to take a bus once to the next place.
Does anybody know an explanation for this crowdedness in this period?
My wife and I will fly to Bilbao on the 12th of may and start our walk probably there ( or in Irun) She will not be able to walk more than 10 miles/16 kilometers per day. If it stays this busy this crowdedness maybe will be a problem for her
Could members of this forum who start out on the Camino del Norte in the next week's report back to the forum how the situation develops and if pilgrims don't find a bed in albergues? The answer to this question can be useful to us,perhaps we will be looking for an alternative.
Many thanks
