    Pamplona to Irun (Hendaye)

    Hi MP, no, I didn't walk this section in 2011, I walked the whole del Norte from Irun to SdC, but started that year on the Camino Frances. I walked from SJPdP to Pamplona (love this section through the Pyrenees), from there took a bus (2 Hr bus ride) to Irun to commence/continue the Camino del...

    Norte in may

    Hi Danielle, seems you live downunder as well, I'm from Sydney. I walked the Camino del Norte all the way from Irun to SdC this year early May to Mid June. It's true some of the refugios/Albergues are still closed at this time, but majority is open. San Sebastian was closed, I used the YH, Euro...

    luggage Pamplona to SdC

    Hi all, hope to find some answers for a friend who will be walking late 2012 from Pamplona to SdC. As we live in Australia, we usually come with more luggage to Europe than we actually need on the Camino. As my friend will be flying straight from Sydney to Barcelona, then by bus to Pamplona...

    How busy is the Camino del Norte

    Hi there, I walked the del Norte from Irun to SdC in May to mid-June this year. Obviously a much quieter time than the summer months. I never had a problem finding a bed in the refugios. I would imagine that the period after the summer/holiday period is as quiet again, say from September...

    Bed Bugs on the Norte ???????

    Thanks Mike, your experience or better the lack of it (BBs I mean !) is very encouraging. I'm looking very much forward to a NON-encounter ! Viajero, thanks for your reply also, but where on the Norte in 2009 did you encounter BBs? Thanx and Buen Camino Bem

    Bed Bugs on the Norte ???????

    Hola and Hi everyone, who can give me advice on this rather itchy topic "BED BUGS"?? I will be walking the "Norte" in May to mid June. Walked the "Frances" same time in 2008 and infrequently had encounters with BBs on route, not on myself, but with/on fellow-peregrinos. Remember that most...

    rainpants or gaiters ?

    Thanks again to ALL of you! Your feed back and ideas on this topic are very helpful and gave me a few more angles to look at, when I decide what to take along in May this year walking the del Norte. I was soaked for 19 out of 29 days on the Frances in 2008, despite Poncho and Rain pants and...

    rainpants or gaiters ?

    Hola ! When I walked the "Frances" rainpants and a poncho were sufficient. I will be walking the "Norte" in May, wonder if I should invest in gaiters as well, as the weather seems to be wetter on this route than anywhere else. I wear Gore-tex boots, but do know that water will find its way...
