I am here right now- a definite gem. great location near cathedral, clean, small, cross between hostel and pension. my friend is in a 4 bed room w a bath for 12 euros. I am splurging for a single room w bath for rest day for 30 euros. stayed at Benedictine monastery alberque and it was so noisy...
thank you for your posting. I have struggled on the north route and have had an injury and was feeling discouraged. I reluctantly decided to go to Burgos to walk the French route. your posting was a confirmation for me of changing direction but not my destination .

am dropping down to Burgos tomorrow to pick up French route. very few alberques and pilgrims and difficult conditions. I will walk the French route and return to complete the northern route another time.
Buen camino and let me know how you are doing
hi Bobbie
I am in Santender. knee injury forced me to stay put. leaving here 11th. have had rain all but 2 days. I love the route but am considering dropping down to Burgos to pick up French route if weather looks better a bit south.

I have been on the north route for the past 8 days. beautiful but challenging terrain and rain everyday. no problems getting a bed, but longer walking distance due to fewer accommodations.
I was considering dropping down to complete my walk in the French route because off the nonstop rain...

Hi Annie and Bobbie
I am in the airport waiting for flight to Madrid. am starting the north trek may 29 from San Sebastián. it's been 2 years in the works and is hate to change plans now. if the weather does appear to look rainy for another 2-3 weeks I may also need to consider other options...
I have also been watching the weather in Spain but haven't been as to find a site looking at weather along the coastal. route. what I've seen is rain almost every day for the past 3 weeks. how does the forecast look ahead?
leave tomorrow and will be starting my trek the 29th
Buen Camino Bobby
I leave tomorrow and somehow it still isn't real. My backpack is ready by the door. Will be going to Madrid and then to San Sebastián
What have the suggestions been to you to make you consider walking on the Primitivo from the Norte?
I have been watching the weather in...
Hi can you tell me where you found the map you downloaded of the northern route for your wife? I think that's a great idea, and I would like to do the same.
Hi
I have no camino experience at all. I choose the north route to be near the coast. I am taking a sleeping bag for nights I may not find a bed, for warmth and cleanliness.
Buen Camino
Bobbie
I start el Norte may 29 from San Sebastián, your questions and all the responses help a lot- I also get concerned about missing markers
I'm sure we will meet on the trail
I am traveling solo with a genetic defect in sense of direction .
after reading these posts, I've decided to purchase a garmin Dakota 20. do I need to purchase additional maps or software? how do I find the correct maps for northern route?
I love the chance to actually experience some of the trek - makes it more real then photos. what are you using to video and how are you uploading it?
thanks
I couldn't help but smile at being redirected when you didn't know you were lost! hopefully the same will be true on the Norte. in airplane mode- is everything turned off? do I need to go to AT&T to see if my i phone 5 is unlocked?
I feel uneducated in spite of all my research, but i thought...
