    Is this feasible: picnic lunches on Camino del Norte?

    Your plan for lunch is great. On my del Nortes (2018 and 2022) from Gijon, we started the day, and after walking a half an hour or so to warm up, we would break fast with a hunk of bread and a squeeze of honey. Maybe a chunk or two of Laughing Cow or similar cheese. The café con leche and...

    Starting Norte July 5

    Traveling with my college-age daughter in Villalba on day 11 of our Gijon to Santiago Camino. We brought 55 degree REÍ bags (used frequently and in place of albergue-provided blankets). We also brought liners, which we have not used. Today is a rest day and we decided to splurge on the...

    Gijon start for the Camino del Norte

    Thank you for the comment and suggestion. I walked most of this route with my son in 2018 and I am familiar with the industrialized section that you described. We were so excited to be on the Camino it didn’t bother us at all. Many thanks. Buen Camino.

    Getting in shape for the Norte

    What you can and should do depends a lot on your fitness and conditioning. My son and I walked from Gijon to Luarca (bus and taxi next) and then Abadin to Santiago arriving July 7, 2018. He was 18 and I was 63, he was a kid who had hiked Philmont and I was in reasonable shape (able to run 3+...

    Your prefered part on el Norte?

    My son and I had about two weeks and hiked from Gijon to Luarca, and then took a bus and a taxi to Abadin for the final walk to Santiago. We started from Gijon on June 25 of this year and arrived in Santiago on July 6 (to the albergue at the city limits) and reached the Cathedral early the next...
