    Any Camino experience with Blundstone’s Chelsea boots?

    The best shoes for such a trek are after my own experience and also among many others I spoke to? Buy Hanwag shoes. 830 kilometres without 1 blister or other foot problems

    LIVE from the Camino On Camino Del Norte , Shoes starting to disintegrate.

    For me, HANWAG stands alone at the top. Fantastic shoes. The shoe salesman guaranteed that I would not get blisters during the 830 km trek. Of course, I did not believe that because I had hardly practised. But it was true: I walked the entire Camino del Norte and did not have a blister!

    Great weather so far on the Norte

    Great, I see the same weather conditions as in April 2014. The magnificent views along the entire north west coast never bore. Now after 8 years still regularly nostalgic for this beautiful route

    Getting to Camino Del Norte from UK

    Don't miss the English albergue at Miraz, I agree.... And of course the albergue de peregrinos de Guemes in Cantabria. (Last albergue before Santander)

    Reviews of Four Camino-Related Books

    Of all the books I have read about the camino, I found Shirley Maclaine's book the least interesting and even the most irritating. It is about the camino, but while reading it I found that she herself had lost the way. My favourites are: Jean-Christophe Rufin: Compostela and Hans Annink: A late...

    Camino del Norte

    Del Norte is indeed an experience. No walk in the park but after every effort you are more than rewarded with a magnificent view.And after Ribadeo, a beautiful route through the interior of Galicia. And the big advantage: you are not part of a mass of pilgrims

    Credential in San Sebastian

    I slept the first night of the camino in bar pension restaurant Bidasoa. I ate well and slept well. And certainly not expensive. Later I saw that this hotel didn't have such a great review. But maybe I had prepared myself for the fact that I became a pilgrim and didn't have to set the demands so...

    Norte in March 2022

    There are some pilgrims who walk the Camino from Bilbao (because of the airport there). And that is really a shame. The distance Irun Bilbao can be walked in one week. You should consider walking this section very carefully because it is a beautiful (perhaps the most beautiful) part of the...

    Norte in March 2022

    Dear Charlesstones, a nice advance notice. You still have plenty of time to look forward to it. It is a beautiful route, I often think back to it. Not always easy but the reward after the effort is great. When you are on the road, you should leave a message on this forum. Buen Camino!

    Camino del Norte 2020 completed

    It is so nice to read that you have experienced the same at the Camino del Norte as what I experienced there. It's so enchantingly beautiful in north west Spain and Galicia! A few stages are not as great as the long walk along the pipeline, but immediately afterwards you will be rewarded with a...

    Such a long walk

    When I walked the camino del Norte I ended up in a group of very nice fellow pilgrims who had an average age of 35 years, I think. I was 65 at the time and I've never felt like 30 before. Best of all, I was one of them and there was never a moment when my age came up for discussion. Full...

    For the Women Only...Walking With DD Breasts

    With all due respect, unfortunately I cannot make any sensible suggestion on this subject. And not because I think it is not serious ...... It is remarkable that it is discussed here. What a Camino cannot achieve all!

    What is the most unusual thing you have seen on any Camino?

    A meeting with a very sympathetic pilgrim from the Netherlands with his loyal dog with shoes near Laredo

    Pictures that show you totally outside your comfort zone on the Camino!

    I also ran the camino de norte from Irun. I can not remember that this bridge was so scary. Have more enjoyed it from the beautiful view. Oh yes, I am suffering from height fear!
