Pilgerweg. Walking from Gorlitz to leipzig- 10 days. Very quiet. Signage is good. Different sign - see photo. Stay in equivalent to albergues. Some attached to parishes. Some donation. On day 3. Language not a big problem. I've no German! - from Ireland.
Finished Lebaniego yesterday. Today Potes to Espinama. Nice walk up to Santo Toribo last night. Started at 8am today so walked on road to Beares then joined the Vadiniense. Breakfast in San Pelayo. Long beautiful woodland walk from Arenos to Espinama. Top up with water for this part.
I'm starting in Santander having finished there last year on the 6th July. The first section appears very long for a first day toSantillana. Should I do 10k after I arrive at 5.00pm to e.g.Santa Cruz and make the next day easier?
Just finished 9 days on the Camino del Norte from Irun to Santander - great experience. Signs, variety, good albergues, no fleas!!, 22-24 deg, friendly pilgrims - did skip Bilbao to Portugalete by metro, don't enjoy walking all day through a city. Great coastal views and inland forest walks.
