Hello Mera, I was lucky and had only one day of rain in three weeks. But the weather in the north can be unpredictable sometimes. I worked here for several month and it rains more often than in the rest of Spain. But that makes the nature so rich and beautiful. You may also encounter...- shantideva

I just arrived at Gijon after a great evening and night at the Albergue La Ferreria in Amandi (2 km after Ribadesella). My Camino del Norte takes an end here. I have to return home as I had only three weeks of vacation. It is a sad moment as I would really love to continue. The experiences and...- shantideva

Just arrived at Colunga. Today I had a full day of rain and hailstorms. The spanish people call the north of the country « the hat of Spain ». It takes all the rain and the rest of Spain stays much more dry. Somehow I was happy about that. I didn’t take my rain gear for nothing. Here in...- shantideva

Best Blister Prevention Method - Vote!
If you wisely choose your shoes and socks, then blisters should not occur. Light shoes (like trail runners) with large toe boxes and at least one size bigger than my foot never gave me blisters. But I always tested my shoes very well and it happened that I bought 3 pairs before I found the one...- shantideva

I have arrived in Comillas today. As the Albergue Municipal is still closed I worried a bit, but there is now a new albergue: Albergue la Huella del Camino. It has opened two weeks ago. It is a private albergue. I have done a lot of detours and shortcuts so far. The most impressive one was the...- shantideva

Hi Laurie, Indeed, these 50 seconds are not marked by yellow arrows. But it is a way (camino) that you suggested to go, and it is a way the wise pilgrim guide also suggests. MY Camino de Santiago went this way and I am happy that I chose this ~8 km like this. (And I don’t talk about all the...- shantideva

And here is finally what I took with me on the Camino and what works perfectly for me so far. I wanted to be very light. So my base weight is 4kg. It helps me a lot compared to my last Camino to have dropped more than 3kg. https://lighterpack.com/r/dd3g5l- shantideva

I just had short time to visit it as I was there at 18:30, 30 minutes before it closed. I had visited Gernika some years ago as I lived 6 month in Bilbao for work. Today I arrived in Bilbao. After my 30km of hike I couldn’t but visit the good old places again and added 3 more km walking through...- shantideva

As I was stuck in Gernika for half a day as the Albergue in Eskerika is still closed until 28/03, I took time to upload a small video to Youtube. Here another small info about the Camino so far: The bridge in Deba is still closed. A detour has to be taken into accout. I think its about 1,5 km...- shantideva
