      If you are used to using AllTrails, you would probably find it easy to use Wikiloc, a similar Spanish trails app with an incredible number of participants, and thus, an amazing amount of local information.

      I used the All Trails app last year on the Norte between Bilbao and Santander. Yes the app had the features that I needed, but you also need to look at the track you plan to follow. The Norte has many options and variations where you can stay...

      I think that it is worth remembering that the difficultly level shown on an Alltrails route is an opinion expressed by one or more people rather than by Alltrails itself (a bit like opinions on this forum). As a result the level of difficulty...

      I started from the Biarritz lighthouse last year. I had spent the night in Bayonne, and took the train to Biarritz, then a bus to the lighthouse. The distance walked was about 13 miles. Here are some pictures from that day

      I think that's quite doable, but might be a little ambitious if you don't want to rush, and want to spend some time relaxing and enjoying the towns you stay in. I would check out the stages on Gronze for the Norte and the last two days on the...

      I agree. The river path into Pamplona is much more pleasant that climbing that hill on a hot afternoon!

      Part of the experience of the camino is letting go of control and seeing what happens. You have so much infrastructure on the Frances that you will never find yourself in a situation where you'll be out on the street. Those unplanned situations...

      We have had to use a taxi on a few occasions (stolen phone, no place to sleep, trail closed due to fire, etc). As mentioned above, we simply asked someone at the albergue or a bar to help us and within 10 minutes were whisked off in an...
