    Suggestions for a (slightly abbreviated) Camino del Norte?

    Prior to our Norte/Primitivo Camino in Sept/Oct 2017, I read several blogs and books that seemed to suggest that walking into and through the larger cities was “jarring”, compared to the walk on trails where you hear the rustling of the leaves, cow bells (and “moo’s”), birdsong, babbling brooks...

    Camino del Norte in 2 weeks

    We started in San Sebastian and skipped over the larger cities in September 2017.

    Accomodation after Lugo?

    We stayed at Case da Ponte in Ferreira in Sept 2017. I only wish that I had been more awake in the morning to have taken a picture of the innkeeper blowing us kisses as we got an early start the next morning! It was 29km from Lugo, and the people that we met that day tried to get rooms at the...
