    Camino del Norte

    We stayed at Albergue La Sirena, which is a youth hostel, but they charge you more if you are not in your young years. It was well located, great hospitality, great price for San Sebastian. I would stay there again and we actually stayed two days cause my knee was in big time pain after doing...

    What should I do about a phone?

    I would just get a SIM card in one of the big cities (Madrid, Paris, San Sebastian, Porto) depending on where you are starting your Camino. They are usually 20 Euros, with ample data and are valid for 30 days. I personally prefer Orange than any of the other providers. I had done that in my...

    Ruta del Flysch — so close to the Camino!

    It was indeed a fantastic walk! My favorite so far in the Camino del Norte!

    Hiking sandals or not?

    I'm with you! When I needed a breather, I used my hiking sandals with socks as well and they came in super handy when the trail runners got wet on a rainy day in the Primitivo. I love my night sandals (shower type, simple and light) cause as much as I love my other two shoes, I wanted my feet...

    Hiking sandals or not?

    Do you bring any other shoes besides your hiking sandals?

    Hiking sandals or not?

    When I walked from SJPD to Santiago, somebody suggested I bring a pair of hiking sandals besides my trail runners and my night/shower sandals which I found all 3 pairs super useful since it was the summer and a walk of 30+ days. It was nice to have a pair of sandals that protected your toes...

    Credit cards or cash?

    Are credit cards accepted in most albergues in the Camino del Norte or cash required? What about for restaurants? Thank you kindly!

    Camino del Norte

    Me three and my friend walking with me four. God willing!!! Three weeks to go!!! That being said, I have a reservation for the night we arrived and just made one in an albergue in San Sebastian as I’m afraid that is a big destination and I don’t want to be stuck at pricey hotels.

    I paid and downloaded the maps for the Norte route from Wise Pilgrim this morning. But does it have the detours as well? I didn’t get to play with it much. That points your location and the camino so I will know I am in the ride path which I used often even on the Frances, Primitivo and...

    I like that price tag! 😉

    I downloaded that one but my lack of time didn’t allow me to play with it much. I went all the way to search for Camino del Norte and then found several options and did not know what to do or how to follow a specific one or what to do with it…? I probably need to see a YouTube to learn how to...

    I understand the Camino del Norte has a lot of asphalt and I am grateful for the detailed notes from a couple of members to avoid it. I have the worst sense of directions and heavily relied on apps that showed me my location and where the Camino was when I walked my previous caminos. Any...

    Accommodations on Camino Norte ( and other questions!)

    Happy planning! I'm in the same mode as you are... Norte, September... finding an app that helps me avoid the asphalt I hear it has. The little I know is that it's harder than the Frances as the first 10 days or so are repeats of the first day in the Frances if you start in SJPD.... That's...
