    San Cosme de Barreiros —> Lourenzá

    In my case, the goal was to get to mondoñedo and I took a bus from train station (train didn’t come and they gave us a bus/shuttle) to San Cosme (berreiros) and I walked straight up on N-634 from there. I could have rejoined the official Camino along the way but I was quite happy with the...

    Looks like the map got deleted when a mod tried to merge threads. Let me try reattaching.

    San Cosme de Barreiros —> Lourenzá

    Yes I’m trying to jump ahead to Mondonedo to catch up with some friends who are ahead of me. From Ribadello (where I am at now) there appears to be a bus that runs twice a day, and I could taken that to San Cosme. Thanks for the tips. I’ll see if I can look up San Martino. I assume you walked...

    San Cosme de Barreiros —> Lourenzá

    Has anyone taken this route recently? It’s shown on the Galicia Camino maps (see image) but I haven’t found much info in how well it is marked, if the trail is clear and walkable, etc.

    Starting in Irún Sep 10th

    Hi Laurie, My budget has some room to indulge. Only problem is if I keep finding places like this (Getaria) I might not make it to Santiago or even back to Seattle :)

    Starting in Irún Sep 10th

    Sleeping options in Zarautz were very limited. And the pilgrims hostel there is closed for the season. I (and a couple of Frenchmen) got there around noon and the hostels that are open wouldn’t check us in til 3p. So I decided to continue on. If you have the energy to Walk another 2.5 miles to...

    Drinking water from the tap

    If anyone can recall, what was the longest distance you had to go before finding another tap or fountain on the Norte?

    Starting in Irún Sep 10th

    I’ve been carrying around an REI sac (bag, but a guy at a bookstore in Paris just called it a sac and I’m going with it :) and putting in it the few things of value I don’t want to lose. When I have the pack with me I jus shove this sac at the top of my pack. Turned out to be quite easy. Just...

    Starting in Irún Sep 10th

    Thank you for the detailed response. I’ll bring a small bag or belt of some kind so I can keep important things with me at all times. Are beds that dirty or did you mean the pack has all kinds of dirt? I’m guessing the latter. Regarding extending till December I’m thinking more about how...

    Camino Norte November/December

    Thanks that is good to know. I’m starting from Irún around Sep 10th. There is so much info out there and yet it feels very unclear what I can expect starting this late. I’m thinking if that as a positive thing.

    Camino Norte November/December

    I'm planning to start early Sep and give myself up to 3 months so I can enjoy the scenery. This will take me through to November by the time I get to Gijón and beyond. I have the same questions about accommodation as we get into November and not-so-warm weather clothing suggestions. Any tips...
