I am planning to cycle Camino Norte in September from Biarritz.
I am planning the route at the moment and intend to use the Camino Norte Route but also mix it in with roads, lighthouses and other tracks.
Is anybody else planning to cycle in 2020 who would like to share route information?

I will be bringing my Giant MTB from Denmark to ride the Camino Norte in September. I will start in Irun and follow the Camino route and coastal road to Navia and then head to Santiago.
My question is about bikes on buses along this coastal route. I may skip some sections between Irun and...
Martin, thanks for the advice about the post office.
With regards to Ryanair. I have flown with them about 20 times. If my bike is in a box, all the rest of my gear goes in with it. Panniers, helmet shoes, the whole lot. You just need to keep it within the weight limit.
I usually travel with...
