    Navia to Santiago

    Hi TIA, I walked the entire Norte in 2019 from Irun and all I can say is that I long to return. It is spectacular hiking the mountains alongside the ocean.

    Alternative route along coast from Santander

    Not busy from Irun to Bilbao. MUCH busier after Bilbao as many fly in and start here. Many albergues full after Bilbao especially if you land in one that has a festival that week as we did in Castro Urdiales.

    two pairs of shoes vs one pair

    Hi, I've heard some people talk about bringing a second, lighter pair of shoes for when it rains and your primary pair get soaked (mine are breathable - not waterproof - Salomon XA-Pro Trail Runners). Do shoes like this dry out overnight or should I have a second pair along? I start the Camino...
