    Camino del Norte in November? Too wet?

    One other thing @saburai : I found the Cicerone guide to be a little out of date, and lacking some of the modern route variants. However, they have a list of updates at https://www.cicerone.co.uk/the-camino-del-norte-and-camino-primitivo-third#updates. Also, I used the Osmand+ app which seems...

    Camino del Norte in November? Too wet?

    Thanks! For some reason, I misread your initial message as stating that you were going from Santander to Bilbao (the same as me, but in reverse). I did Irun to Bilbao back in 2018. This stretch is more inland after the first day or two. I would say it's harder than the bit I did this year...

    Camino del Norte in November? Too wet?

    Hi @saburai ! It was great. The weather was amazing pretty much the whole time. There was a storm forecast one day but it never materialised (although there was a crazy storm in the middle of the night and it was still a bit miserable in the morning, so I delayed my departure until lunchtime...

    Camino del Norte in November? Too wet?

    Thanks everyone for your responses, which were very helpful. In the end I decided that there were enough accomodation options available at this time of year and the forecast looked good so I'm starting tomorrow from Bilbao. The forecast is for 20C and sunshine! Unbelievable in November. I have...

    Bilbao to Portugalete

    I shall be walking this stage on Saturday. I had been thinking about taking the longer route via Cruces because it has a couple of climbs but it sounds like it's even more urban later on. The bridge sounds fun though!

    Camino del Norte in November? Too wet?

    I'm thinking of doing one week of the Camino del Norte, from Bilbao, either 5-11 November or 21-27 November. My concers are rain and accommodation. Am I being crazy? Will the weather be awful, or will it be OK? I don't mind having one day of rain, but a whole week of rain may be too much. I...

    Hi all, I had intended to arrive in SJPP tonight, but unfortunately I'll have to arrive tomorrow. If anyone would like to share a transfer from Biarritz airport to St Jean, please let me know. I will be arriving at 5pm on the Ryanair flight from London Stansted. Otherwise I'll be taking the...

    2016 September/October Peregrinos Departures

    I'll be starting 8 October from St Jean Pied de Port, for my first full Camino (and hopefully on to Finisterre in weather/feet allow). I've previously done St Jean to Longroño and Ambasmestas to Santiago.

    Weather in October/November

    @Albertagirl and @whariwharangi: thank you for your replies - it's really good to hear about your experiences. Someone else sent me a link which will have a list of "winter albergues" on in November: http://www.aprinca.com/alberguesinvierno/. On reflection, I'm going to bring the whole forward a...

    2016 Nov/Dec & 2017 Jan Peregrinos Departures

    Hi @SYates - that link is super-helpful, thanks! I'm going to bring the Camino forward to start around 5/10, but I will go slightly into November, so this will be useful. Thank you. Buen Camino!

    Weather in October/November

    I'm thinking of doing the whole Camino Frances from SJPP to Santiago, starting mid October (maybe between 12/10 and 17/10) to mid-November, and maybe on to Finisterre if the weather and my feet allow. However, I'm concerned about the weather, particularly in Galicia. I have walked both the...
