Well, maybe not. My plans are to leave for France on May 4th, stay overnight in Paris, train to St. jean, and begin the Camino! and Thursday I came down with covid. and yes, it did indeed put me flat on my back. but? thanks to medical... -
Best part in my opinion was Asturias region starting from Muros de Nalon. From there the Norte has a lot of natural terrain walking. Everything between Bilbao to Aviles was asphalt pretty much, but it makes sense if weather is not so good. Was...

I'm on the CF right now (also from Aus). I walked Pamplona to Puente La Reina today and it was very cold, about 8-10C max. I was very comfortable wearing a long sleeve merino, lightweight fleece (for comparison, RAB Nexus jacket) and my rain...
