    Camino del Norte in August?

    Walked from Bilbao to Santander in beginning of August 2017, and the albergues were packed. The first night in Pobena we had to sleep on the lawn (an exciting experience, but not very good for backsides nearing 50 years of age :eek:). The amount of people came as a shock on the...

    Albergue in El Pontarron

    Thank you, I figured out in the end that was what you meant. In the end we only went as far as Islares, by then we were soaked through everything. But the route was amazing. We took the bus to Laredo together with quite a few other pilgrims, and got a mattress in the beautiful convent here. I...

    Albergue in El Pontarron

    Hi everybody! Has anyone stayed recently in the albergue in El Pontarron? And is it as bad as the reviews on gronze say? We are planning our route from Castro Urdiales tomorrow, and due to some asphalt related blisters and ditto bad knee, we would rather not walk all the way to Laredo in one...

I used google translate, and after a while you will get the hang of the most common words. I found the site a really good tool for...

    Can we have an experienced view on our planned first leg, please :)

    Thank you everyone for your kind suggestions and tips! Even if we do have a plan, it is not carved in stone, so we will be fine even if we have to alter it. We believe we are quite fit for walking the distances between the albergues, but one never knows, so compeed and sports tape are ready in...

    Can we have an experienced view on our planned first leg, please :)

    Anemone and peregrina2000, thanks a lot for your advices :) We will take a look at the chicken coop ;) Yes, normally I would do an electronic bank transfer from my lap top or phone, but the albergue could not provide me a swift-code, which I needed in addition to the IBAN number, so the host...
