Counting pilgrims on the Norte AGAIN
Last May I walked the first part of the Norte in the opposite direction, from Santander to Irun. Since I only had two weeks and couldn't reach Santiago anyway, I wanted to swim against the tide, especially since the most beautiful stages were between Bilbao and Irun, which I enjoyed a lot at the...- Umwandert

Ruta and Camino de Fray Leopoldo – December 2023
I walked this brand new camino in December 2023. I discovered this trail, when @islandwalker reported about it here in August last year. As I had walked the Via Serrana in December 2022 and wanted to hike another Andalusian trail it immediately attracted my interest. I researched accommodation...- Umwandert

Camino Estrecho Reverse – where should I start?
Last year I asked: “Winter Camino in Andalusia, but which one?” and received many helpful answers from the forum. I decided to walk the Via Serrana in December, and although many things went wrong (unnecessary detours, rainstorms, mean dogs, etc.), I enjoyed a challenging, remote trail...- Umwandert

Counting pilgrims on the Norte
Hello everyone, I am currently walking in the opposite direction on the Norte. I started from Santander 5 days ago and am hoping to reach Irun sometime next week. Since I found it funny to count the pilgrims I met on the Fisterra-Muxia-Santiago hike last June, I'll do it again now. Here are my...- Umwandert

Norte: Municipal albergues open for reverse pilgrims?
Dear forum users, I have 2 weeks time in May and plan to hike part of the Norte. As I did Aviles-Santiago last year, I would like to go further to complete this camino. I read that the first week (Irun-Bilbao) is the most breathtaking part, followed later by the "Cantabrian tarmac hell" and the...- Umwandert

LIVE from the Camino Umwandert finds challenges on the Via Serrana - December 2022
Via Serrana in December 2022 Hello everyone, I am safely back from the Via Serrana and to sum up everything I experienced in one word: It was challenging. Not so much because of the terrain, but because of the really bad weather and limited daylight hours in winter. And because of some mean...- Umwandert

Winter Camino in Andalusia – but which one? (Answer: Via Serrana)
I just started planning for a short spontaneous Camino (my third). This time for two weeks in December in Andalusia, because of the weather and because I want to refresh my memories of this picturesque region where I traveled a lot two decades ago. I think there are 4 possible choices: Camino...- Umwandert

Memorable Moments on the Norte and beyond (including mishaps)
In May/June 2022 I walked the latter 40% of the Norte and the extension to Muxia and Fisterra after having survived the Salvador as some kind of exhausting but wonderful warm-up. This was my second camino. As I love reading entertaining blogs and daily pilgrim diaries on this forum and...- Umwandert

Personal report: my most challenging day on the Salvador
I could have been warned. But I felt prepared. I had trained by frequently running in my city and hiking a whole week around Berlin on the Mauerweg (160 km). I had lost weight and felt quite fit for 53. Much fitter than on my first camino (Ingles + Muxia/Fisterra) two years before. I had read...- Umwandert
