    Irún to San Sebastián first day

    In 2019, I walked the route along the dirt road from Irun to San Sebastian (not the Alpine trail). The stage was not too difficult until after the ferry. Walking up those stairs was difficult but I did it. I got to San Sebastian mid afternoon. I was tired but fine. I was in my mid 60's, and...

    Are you 70+ and still walking Caminos?

    I'm not quite there yet, but running to catch up! 😂 I'm starting my 4th Camino in August. I'll be 70 in December.

    Rethinking my CF-ish route after Burgos (and I start in 7 days!)

    I loved it for its wide openness, vast vistas and in May the wildflowers were amazing.

    Accommodations. Need to bk in advance?

    And, at least in 2019, that Albergue was wonderful.

    Recommendation for Starting Point

    In 2019, I flew into Madrid, and took Iberia Air to San Sebastian airport which is in Irun. I was able to walk from the airport to accomodations and start the Norte from Irun the following day.

    Start Aug. 15 or Sept. 1?

    I started on 2019 on the last day of August. Tourist activity was waning.

    Norte - Hiking Alone, Hoping to Meet Others?

    On the Norte in 2019, I met a lovely French couple and a wonderful man from Belgium, who I am still friends with. We walked together and alone, but always met up in the most fun and surprising places. Eventually, we made and stuck to a plan to arrive in Santiago together. There was a larger...

    LIVE from the Camino Struggling with fitness and mood

    Yes, I have. Perhaps under different circumstances but yes. I walked the Norte in 2019, pre-pandemic, and at times, never felt so depleted or alone. I was so mentally and physically exhausted when I got to Santiago that I had to go "off grid" for a few days and just be by myself. I decided...

    How physically demanding is first week of Camino Del Norte?

    I walked from Irun in September 2019. I was 64. It was very tough for me, but I managed. During the first week, I was alone a lot of the time, but never all day. I do remember thinking at one point, after hours of up and down in damp and somewhat muddy conditions, if I die on this trail...
