    Deba to Zarautz or Zarautz to Deba?

    Hi I seem to remember that Getaria and Zumaia are stunning. Getaria I believe has escalators up the steep hillside and an impressive art gallery.

    Accessing Camino Passport in Irún

    I think it's good to collect a pilgrim passport from the Cathedral in Irun and I'm very glad we stayed the first night in Pasajes de San Juan. Getting any further would have been impossible for me or so I felt at the time

    Camino Del Norte - April 2024

    I quite agree. Getting to San PASAJES nearly polished me off. Definitely stay there for a night

    Camino del Norte advise please

    I am 70 now. I did Camino del Norte in my 60 s over several stages. The first day after Irun, to Pasajes is absolutely beautiful but a steep and long climb especially if you're not prepared in advance.

    Industrial Walking along the Norte...

    I walked el Norte over several holidays but did walk most if it. Good idea to stay first night at Pasajes de San Jusn. Get there early as it only used to have only 14 beds. I enjoyed the industrial walk out from Bilbao. Just see as much as you possibly can as there are so many beautiful things...

    Camino Castellano Lebaniego

    I may be walking this route next year so any information would be helpful. Is it very mountainous and are there albergues?

    Camino walk intensity -advice/opinions needed

    This is great advice Woody. The first time I was walking the Norte, my pack was 8 kg. I just couldn't cope.
