Even from Irun the Norte is comfortably doable in 40 days if you are reasonably fit and appropriately equipped. You’ll have scope to take a rest day or two. The only impediments are the unplannable experiences. Injury or illness can make a... -
I agree. Gijón was one of my favorite cities on the Norte. If you are really worried about not having enough time I second the suggestion of @davejsy to start farther along the route. Even starting in San Sebastián will save you one or two...

You’ll waste a day bypassing Gijon on public transport when you could have walked through an amazing city and taken advantage of its seafront restaurants? Why? 40 days is ample for the Norte: depending on where you start 😉

Well maybe as opposed to skipping stages you could start further along? Bilbao would have good access, and you would miss what is often described by some as the hardest parts in the first week. The downside is that they are often described as...

The "conga line" description is really overblown. Sure, you might encounter large groups walking together that resemble a conga line, but I wouldn't say that it's the norm. Last year I joined the Francés from the Primitivo at Melide - smack...

That can at least partly be avoided by staying in places that do not allow reservations and luggage transport. I usually stay in parroquials and municipals, preferredly donativos. The few times I stayed in private albergues, I realized why...

I, too, lean towards the Frances as a recommendation. It is the archetypical Camino and the one most supportive for first-time pilgrims. It seems the one that best fits your impetus for walking a Camino. Many (and it sounds like you are one of...

I would do the Frances. Don’t worry about the crowds. It’s only busy after Sarria. The beauty of the Camino is if you don’t want to speak you will be left alone. But a lot of the attraction of the Camino for me (I have done 4) is the people you...
