[QUOTE="AubreyL, post: 136542, member: 19506"] Bobbie - I would recommend reserving a bed at Roger's House in San Sebastian. It's a hostel in the old part of town. I think I paid 12 or 16 Euros per night for a bed, and you can't beat the location! I had friends who stayed in the albergue (which is located near the west end of Playa de la Concha) and were disappointed to see how far they were from all the pintxo bars and lively center of San Sebastian. [url=http://www.hostel-rogers-house.com/]http://www.hostel-rogers-house.com/[/url] I also reserved a bed ahead of time at the Bilbao Akelarre Hostel. This hostel was clean and nice but it was extremely loud and a bit far from the old town. I would recommend paying extra to stay in a pension in Bilbao. I think it would be worth the extra 15-20 Euros. That being said, it was very easy to ride the metro in Bilbao so even though the hostel is a bit removed, it is easily accessible. The only place I had a real issue with waymarking was just outside Deba. After you cross the river and head up the steep climb out of town, the main trail has been cordoned off with police tape (this was as of March 26th, 2013). An alternate trail leads you to the left. Yellow arrows appear sporadically and after about a quarter or half a mile you will arrive at a road where you can either go left or right. Go to the right. You will see yellow arrows on trees that have been spray painted over with black. The outline of the arrow is still slightly visible under the black spray paint. Keep following the black spray painted trees up the hill to a paved road. At the paved road turn left and head downhill for about 150-200 meters, then pay close attention as the camino forks abruptly off of the road to the left up a hill to the Ermita del Calvario. My Spanish-speaking friend talked to a local farmer who told him that there was a landslide on the main route and a provisional route was constructed. Some of the locals weren't happy with the provisional route, hence the black spray paint. Let me know if you have any other questions. I finished the norte on April 20th and am already planning my return to Spain :D Here are some of my pictures: [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/aubretia/collections/72157633404700858/]http://www.flickr.com/photos/aubretia/c ... 404700858/[/url] I haven't finished uploading or describing my pictures yet, so if you want to see some pictures from the later stages, check back in a few days. Buen Camino! [/QUOTE]
