    Is AllTrails useful on the Norte?

    I think the easiest way to find the route is to search for Saint Jean-de-Luz then look at the shoreline of the harbor. You will see the Camino marked with a blue line and here-and-there labeled CdN (Camino del Norte). Some places it seems to disappear as it coincides with other routes marked...

    Is this powered USB hub setup safe?

    Unfortunate, but true...

    There are a number of companies in the Burgos area that rent bicycles that can be dropped off in the León area. That way you can see all of the meseta under your own power and save some days.

    Huesca - Camino Aragonés

    Note that Gronze has Bolea to Santa Cilia on the Aragonese as two stages but there is no lodging at Peña Estación. Figure on three days, Bolea - Sarsamarcuella - Ena (or Botaya) - Santa Cilia.
