    The Norte gets very quiet after Avilés

    Have noticed in the last few days how much quieter the Norte is now than the first half of the route. In the last few days I am seeing no more than 1-2 walkers during the day, and in hostels sometimes it has been no more than 3-4 people in 30 bed hostels. Is this people heading off to Primativo...

    LIVE from the Camino Great weather on the Camino del Norte

    I’m in my second week on the CDN and am pleasantly surprised by the consistent good weather we’re having.

    Baggage transfer on Camino Norte

    Can people let me know if there are good baggage transfer options on the Camino Norte. I used these on the CF and it worked so well and hoping it is similarly efficient and available on the CN.

    Accommodations on Camino Norte ( and other questions!)

    I am planning to walk the Camino Norte in September and interested in feedback on this walk. Are there plentiful accommodations options all along the route and do I need to pre book? Do people believe this is a tougher walk than the Camino Francais? What do people think the highlight stages...

    Anyone know what these are??

    Travelling from Sarria to Portomarin we came across lots of these structures which we can’t decide if they’re shrine type things or animal coops? Anyone know what they are? There were so many of them on most properties and haven’t seen them previously on the trail. Anyone know what they are???

    LIVE from the Camino My Camino started Sept 8, 2021

    not sure if this where I should post but here goes. Just finished day 1 of my Camino. SJPDP to Roscenvalles. As expected was tough, but no tougher than expected.
