Just finished our 1st day, Hondurribia to San Sebastian yesterday. Weather and views were amazing, but legs are a bit shakey :-) we are looking for advice on the route out of Zarautz to Deba that we will be on the day after tomorrow. Apparently there is a Coastal route or higher level option...
Heading out tomorrow (April 14th) for Bilbao and our next month on the Camino del Norte. Backpack is packed and weighs in at under 10% of my body weight - only missing one thing... socks! We ordered 4 pairs of "1000 Mile Socks" from Vancouver, BC, Canada, 3 weeks ago and still no socks. We...
We have been experimenting on our training walks with Wikiloc on our iPhone which seems to zap the battery life. We want to be able to use our iPhone 5 for GPS purposes so think that we may want to carry along a iPhone Portable Battery Charger. We have seen some that can recharge up to 4...
We will be heading out soon (April 14 - May 19) for the Camino del Norte. We would love to think that we can go for swims along the way, but realistically, weather wise, will we need to pack our bathing suit? We don't want to carry the extra weight if not needed.

For anyone that has done the Norte, I would like to ask your opinion... Given an extra day, would you spend it in Santander or Santillana Del Mar? Why? Muchas Gracias!
I am looking for advise on where to find detailed city maps, such as Bilbao, San Sebastian, with the camino route marked on the map. My reason is as I look for accommodation, I don't want to venture far off of the camino route. I remember on our last camino, when we arrived in a town, we...
My husband and I will be starting the Camino del Norte mid-April and we have been given advise from our friends that live in Northern Spain that Hondarribia is a much nicer and more beautiful place to stay in place of Irun. My question goes out to anybody that has taken this route before. Any...
Flights are booked! My husband and I are flying into Bilbao on April 15, 2016 for our journey along the Camino del Norte. Last year we went through a company who organized our walk from Tui (border of Portugal and Spain) to Santiago. It only created a much greater desire to walk and see more...
