    Alcuéscar albergue closed “por reformas”

    2 years ago we walked 17k from Aljucèn to Cruce de las Herrerías. And next day 28km to Valdesalor. Both had albergue.

    Donativos on the Norte/Primitivo [2023-24]

    I did the first stretch last october, and I have the stayed in some other donativos: Just before Bilbao (st Martin): Doce Tribus. Bed, communal meal and breakfast. Quite new rooms. Separated by gender. Markina-Xemein: convento padres carmelitas. Just beds (no bunks) and you can make tea and coffee.

    Larrabetzu Albergue

    Just walked that stretch. It was busy (I think also because the holiday weekend foot Spain) en a problem with beds. Especially after Markina, because Gernika albergue is closed, the albergue before Gernika was closed for holiday/winter. So the one after Gernika, putted extra tents in the garden...

    Following the GR123 on the Coast Between Gernika and Portugalete

    Thank you Dave for this update. I'm walking the Norte now and have read your earlier notes about this. I'm now in Deba, so was thinking which route to take. Because its the firsttime on the Norte, I think I'll follow that instead of the coastal. Today I did the GR121, it was very beautiful, but...

    Norte from Bilbao Oct 12, 2023, anyone?

    Maybe. I'll start from Irun next saturday. I'm also a solo walking woman, from the Netherlands. I don't know yet how and how much I'll walk. I have printed the last updates and alternative routes David wrote earlier this year, I think of following those. So maybe we see each other.

    Afghans on trees

    On the via de la plata in Oliva de Plasencia. We saw in the evening a group of ladies sitting together on a square and making these. So yes, its a great thing for the community. Oh, don't sit on the bench when it has rained 🤣

    Camino in October

    Did walk from Ponferrada last year at that time. No problem on beds or food. Quit a lot of people, but not crowdy. Yes we had rain, but raintrousers and a poncho kept us dry enough.

    Padornelo Tunnel

    We walked there in may this year. First stretch was great, you can walk al along the river. But after about 10km you get on the roads that were used for building the highway. But at the end it was a beautiful walk again.

    Advice on itinerary please

    I'm from the Netherlands. And always fly with Vueling (spanish) from Amsterdam to/from Bilbao or Santiago. Is Amsterdam an option to fly at?
