    From Guernica to Bilbao

    Thanks that's very helpful, I was looking into Larrabetzu this morning and it's open in May. The Lezama albergue opens from June and the only accomodations around are rather costly

    Camino del Norte Accommodations

    Hi, I’m planning to start Camino del Norte from Irun on the 19/05 and I reserved some accommodations up to Bilbao between albergue and pensiones but how difficult is to get a bed in a Albergue municipal, for example Deba. The reason I’m asking is that i don’t want to run like a headless...

    To book or not to book albergues

    Staying in the town between stages was great for example Melide and I found better accommodations, the best part I was not walking with the crowds from Sarria, plus

    How busy is the Frances these days?

    Etiquette for not speaking the same language?
