    Albergue/place to stay between Portugalete and Castro-Urdial

    Thanks for all the advice guys! I set off tomorrow and the excitement is really starting to set in. I think I have been swayed by Undara and Tom's advice and will attempt the 30k on the 1st day. Really can't thank you enough for the tips and positivity! Muchas Gracias mi amigos!!!

    Albergue/place to stay between Portugalete and Castro-Urdial

    Thanks, Dave. I knew options were limited, I just thought someone out there might have found some gem along the way to break up that walk. Money is a big factor in my decision making and staying in a hotel isn't really an option during the early stages of my Camino. I agree with the arbitrary...

    Albergue/place to stay between Portugalete and Castro-Urdial

    Buenos Noches I am setting out on my 1st Camino this Thursday and am a little concerned that there may be no Albergues/Youth Hostels open between Portugalete and Castro-Urdiales. This will be my first stage so I would really hope to avoid the 30 or so kms that it takes to complete this part on...

    Camino del Norte April-May

    I'm also walking El Norte from April-May and my biggest fear isn't the cold but the rain! Ireland has been the closest thing to tundra that I can think of. It hasn't been above 10 degrees here over the past 6 months, brrrr!!! My must bring is a good, lightweight poncho. Keeps you and your bag...

    Albergues open in April?

    Hey Jess, This has been something on my mind too but I'm starting a little later than you (27th of April). I'm kind of winging it and have only a loose plan but it's always nice to know you have somewhere to stay at the end of a day.This is a pretty interesting list but I don't think it's...

    Prehistoric cave paintings along Camino del Norte

    Dave, thanks for the link and the heads up about the possibility of the cave being booked out. I will have to wait a while before booking anything tough as I'm keeping a pretty loose schedule. But seeing these is practically the only thing on my 'must do' list. Angulero, thanks for the...

    Prehistoric cave paintings along Camino del Norte

    Hi, Does anyone have experience of visiting any of the caves where there are prehistoric paintings while walking the Camino Norte? Most likely, I will be transitioning between the Norte and Primitivo at Villaviciosa so may miss the major site at Altimira but will probably take a bus to see the...

    Can I just wing it?

    This is a great thread and has put my mind at ease about my approach to 'Wing-ing" it aswell. Camino de Norte is my first Camino and I was a little baffled by the volume of topics and information. So, I thought to myself "get a map and see where you end up along the route" ( apart from a few...
