    A word of warning on trail runners or light weight shoes.

    Last year I wore Inov8 trail shoes, not at all waterproof. Always dried overnight and not a single blister or foot problem for 600 miles - Norte, Primitivo, Finisterre.

    How fast do you walk on the Camino?

    I’m 68 carrying 12kg and just finishing. I averaged 17km a day but that includes some rest days when I only walk a half day. Most I walked was 30km.

    LIVE from the Camino My Camino Primitivo...

    I am walking alone on the Primitivo now. Think about the albergues that offer communal food. A great way to meet people. I think you miss some of the Camino spirit staying in private rooms which usually means you end up eating alone too! Don’t be afraid of the Hospitales route. Too good to...

    Gronze says Santa Ana in Pasajes open 1st April - far enough for me on Day 1!

    Affordable Accommodation on Norte Camino in 2022

    Thank you. I had spotted this too but it’s expensive compared to hostels so a last resort for me.

    Affordable Accommodation on Norte Camino in 2022

    Hi Dave, now we are in March and I’m trying to plan. Have you any sense that the albergues are opening soon for 2022? Your helpful spreadsheet suggests not much on offer. Dave

    Affordable Accommodation on Norte Camino in 2022

    Hi I’m hoping to walk the Norte starting early April 2022. However, I’m concerned that the municipal albergues may not be open due to Covid. I can’t afford €50 per night that seems necessary for hotels etc. Anyone got experiences from 2021 or insight into likely scenario for Spring 2022?

    LIVE from the Camino Stopping my Camino and going home

    Very sorry, tough personally. I was booked to travel to Irun yesterday but obviously did not. I’m disappointed but worse for you. On a brighter note we will be back at a better time.

    Walking in cooler temperatures.

    Agreed! You will probably catch me as I’m not aiming for a hurried experience. I’ll probably switch to the Primitivo at Oviedo as fancy the variety.

    Spring weather CF

    Quandary for me setting out from Irun on 21st March. I have a compact down jacket and man-made fibre equivalent. I’ve decided on the latter as I’m expecting significant wet weather and down + wet = chill. My man-made fibre equivalent is almost as light, almost as packable, almost as warm so...

    Walking in cooler temperatures.

    I’m setting out from Irun on 21st March so have the same equipment challenges. I’m also checking local weather and note maximum day temperature in Bilbao varies from 10 to 24 degrees at the moment. That’s quite a challenge to deal with so layers and a mix of warm and cold weather gear seem...

    April Camino

    I’m starting from Irun on 21st March and there looks to be enough aulberge accommodation open then. As others suggest a good waterproof is essential. I’m taking a brolly too but I know only for days when winds are not prohibitive,

    Thanks for all the replies. I’ve updated my travel plan to arrive in Irun on e evening if the 20th then set out to start on 21st so hopefully I can use the albergue the first night they open!

    Thanks. I’m not worried, just like to get my limited Spanish right.

    Essential Camino Spanish?

    I got the suggested book Camino Lingo and it covers lots of useful basics but misses obvious stuff like: Can I have a bed here for tonight? I can think of many ways to ask this question in English. Can anyone help with a simple commonly used Spanish translation? I don’t want to end up buying a...

    Accommodation between Irun and San Sebastián

    My plan is to start from Irun mid-March. However, I think sensible to plan for a gentle first day. Any suggestions for accommodation somewhere around half way?
