    Ruta del Flysch — so close to the Camino!

    On the Norte

    Fully agree! I did this stretch before Noja a few days ago in rain and it was very slippery and, in spots, dangerous. The views and beach walk after, plus a glass of wine in town, erased the anxiety 🤣🍷 Hopefully the rain will clear soon for folks heading that way!

    Camino del Norte - where to start?

    I followed these instructions via your link today and really appreciate the details! Once I got to Socoa I googled the Eglise Saint Francois Xavier and found the alternate route easily. As I got closer to Hendaya I googled the Navette Hendaye-Fontarribe to get to the ferry to Hondarribia. Many...

    Start Norte from Bayonne/Irun or Gijon?

    Many thanks! I may fly into Biarritz and start from Bayonne or SJPP. Flights from the US seem to be more flexible via Paris vs Madrid. 🥾

    Start Norte from Bayonne/Irun or Gijon?

    Hello! I will be going on my 6th camino trek in early May. I will have about 14 days plus travel days. I am considering Bayonne/Irun to Santander or Gijon to Santiago. Do you have a comparison or recommendation between the two? After a three year pandemic break from these treks I am both...

    Guide and Notes on our Vasco Camino Summer 2022

    What an amazing resource - thank you! I am considering a solo hike in late April/early May 2023. Did you find there were other pilgrims and a sense of community on the route? I’m thinking of doing the Frances instead, which I have done before, primarily for the culture and pilgrim community. Any...

    Esposende to Barcelos - Walking paths?

    I am interested in doing a couple of days on the Coastal Route (Porto to Vila do Conde then Vila do Conde to Esposende), then joining up with the Central Route by going from Esposende to Barcelos. Has anybody done this on foot? There are transport options, but I'd like to hike it if possible...
