    7 days Irun to Bilbao and Guggenheim, eliminate a stage?

    Sure to be many ways of seeing this, but for me and many people I met en route, 6 days was the actual walking time from Irun to Bilbao. Some pretty hard days, but no problem even for this old man. The most scenic part was across the mountain between Irun and San Sebastian. Agree with those who...

    Planning Camino Norte mid March 2023

    Enough. From day one. We ganged up in small groups all the way along. In order to stick with my group I sometimes made longer daily stages than I would have liked to do, but enjoyed great evening meals together, and got to know many interesting people. Appreciated the uncrowded albergues.

    Planning Camino Norte mid March 2023

    Holy week 2022

    Thanks for your comment. Conclusion drawn by following the threads about the holy week, but that in itself is no guarantee for being correct. Also watching Efren Gonzales films0 from last year where he takes us day by day through del Norte. He found the albergues topped up, but pensiones and...

    Holy week 2022

    Hi everyone. I am to start Camino del Norte 16th March. I could be in Galicia during the Holy week, but being a slow stroller, it's hard to say where I am. I am not tied to the Briery. I understand there are few or no problems finding accomodations, but what is it like with restaurants and...
