    All hotels in Pola de Siero seem closed

    Yep, we were there last night. Siero Hostel has a “Away on Vacation” sign up and the other is being refitted - definitely shut. Couldn’t find anything else. Albergue was good though- clean and quiet.

    Sleeping bag or liner on norte tomorrow

    Hi, we’ve been on Norte for ten days, and yes it has got colder. But am finding albergues are providing blankets and heaters are on ... so liners have been fine for us. Weather forecast looking better too!

    Where to go in Irún to get started

    Hi, we started from Irun on Monday. You can get credentials and stamps at the main Albergue, they open at four pm every afternoon and were very helpful. If you have a Mapsme app (highly recommend as it is free, works offline and has all trails etc) the Albergue is noted on that. The Albergue...
