Are supermercados or other grocery stores open on Sundays on del Norte? Are restaurants open?
Specifically, I will likely find myself in these towns on Sundays: Castro-Urdiales, Comillas, Muros de Nalon, Abadin (As Paredes), and Santiago. Thanks!
I'll be starting the Norte in a week and a half, and I have noticed that in a forum search for food, there is not a lot of info specific to the topic for any of the routes. I thought that was odd, as one of the reasons I chose the Norte was for the pintxos and fresh seafood experience I have...
I am not a coffee drinker but my partner is and she "needs" coffee first thing in the morning. We're planning to do the Norte in October. Is it easy to get coffee early (by 7:00? 8:00?) in most places or should she bring her own coffee maker? Thanks for the advice for the odd non hot drink...
On @filly’s live thread on the Lana, he mentioned that he had eaten parga (a fish) at a restaurant in Cuenca. That word jolted my memory and brought me back to a restaurant in Baamonde where I had eaten parga.
What I remember (pasting in here a post from 2011) was this:

I’ll be in Bolibar on Saturday night. I have accommodation but don’t know if there is anywhere there to purchase dinner. Can anyone advise please?
Thanks

Hello fellow Peregrinos..
I love to have evening meals together with fellow peregrinos in the albergues.
If you now albergues who provide this on the Norte, please respond to this message, so I can put them on my to do list.;)
Hello Pilgrims!
We are a month out from our month long journey and I am finally feeling those butterflies.
Our family of four (two kids ages 4 and 2, and ourselves) have decided to take a 27 day journey and start in San Sebastian and end in Llandes.
It is clear the Pilgirms are well taken care...
One of my favorite aspects of my first camino on the CF was the albergues with communal meals. Right before I left for my camino, someone had published a guide to all the albergues that offered them here on the Forum, and I used that guide in part to structure my camino around those places...
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone can comment on the current availability of kettles (and/or stoves) in albergues on the Norte?
I'm on a very strict budget since I am currently only flexibly employed (hence the time to walk) and I have some dietary requirements to be considerate of, and I'm...
