In 2022 I walked La Coasta and Spiritual Variant Porto to S de C and loved it. This June at nearly 80 fit and healthy I thought I would walk San's Sebastian to Santander Coastal Del Norte.. I see it's about 250ks. I need to now research 20 to 25 ks a day Auberges recommendations after walking...
From my 1st Camino to my 4th and not last I have used a Lightning App which warns me if Lightning is a possibility at anytime walking .

Day 1 " Reberia One " accommodation was very good
