Hi.
I plan to walk from Bilbao to Santander in June and hope to stay as close to the coast as possible.
Would you mind sharing the route you downloaded please as I am useless with maps and would appreciate the assistance.😉
Muchas gracias
I hope to do this section in June and prefer to stay as close to the coast as possible. Would you be able to share the route you took please @SFletcher as I am not very good with maps or planning routes.
Gracias

Today I tried really hard not to get a bed. I really tried.
Got up late. Took my time to pack...
I have walked and enjoyed the Camino Francis ten times since 2013.
