    The Norte gets very quiet after Avilés

    Well as I reported I found it a little lonely also on the Norte, and can’t imagine it will get any busier now. CAnt comment what it will be like on the Primitivo. As regards to Albergues I think of the ones that are still open are likely to remain open through to end October, but your choices...

    The Norte gets very quiet after Avilés

    Have noticed in the last few days how much quieter the Norte is now than the first half of the route. In the last few days I am seeing no more than 1-2 walkers during the day, and in hostels sometimes it has been no more than 3-4 people in 30 bed hostels. Is this people heading off to Primativo...

    Hope your Camino going well. Not sure where you have been/ are staying in next few days but from what I’ve seen last few days I thought San Vincente, Llanes, and Ribadesella are particularly worth spending time in if you can. Hope all going well. I have been pushing myself too hard with...

    LIVE from the Camino Great weather on the Camino del Norte

    I’m in my second week on the CDN and am pleasantly surprised by the consistent good weather we’re having. Last week around Deba and Bilbao I had 2 wet days which made walking on paths tricky and slippy but since then and for the foreseeable the forecast is good and on some days has been a little...

    LIVE from the Camino Krause on the Camino del Norte

    I see you’ve got the very same Chaco sandals that I have bought specifically for this trip, that gives me a lot of reassurance as I’m still testing them out. Been wearing them a couple of weeks. Took a while to get the strapping in the right places ( and had a toe rub) but think they’re right...

    I am bringing my hiking sandals with me for my walk as well as my hiking shoes, do you think the route on your leg from Irun would be too muddy for me to consider my sandals and should I stick to hiking shoes?
