    Primitivo vs 2nd half of Norte

    Like many others who had already walked the Primitivo we continued along the Norte and had no regrets . It was a very scenic and peaceful camino.

    Le Puy vs. Norte.

    Yes we arrived in Santiago on April 30th with a few rest days. I just looked back through my photos and not sure of the temps but most days we were wearing long sleeve tops and a few days in just t shirts. I don’t remember it being particularly cold and we posted gloves, beanies etc home from...

    Veer Off to the Primitivo or?

    I walked the Primitivo from Oviedo last year which was wonderful and then walked Camino del Norte from Irun this year and was really pleased to stay on the Norte. Most pilgrims were staying on the Norte mainly due to the weather ( early April ) and thinking Primitivo would be too cold. If you...

    Which route from Soto de luiña

    Thanks everyone for your quick replies. I ended up walking the coastal route ( as advised strongly by Pepe in Soto de Luiña ) since all the pilgrims I asked were going that way. Weather was fine but there had been rain so it was a lot of muddy trails and crossing streams and constant up and down...

    First credencial stamp in Irun

    Thanks for all the info. I am pleased that the albergue will be open. The guidebook suggested that it wouldn’t open until Easter and I was beginning to worry that accomodation might become difficult.

    First credencial stamp in Irun

    Thanks. I am arriving at night after a long flight so thought I would stay in Irun and slowly start the next morning and only walk to Hondarribia and have a relaxing afternoon there. The following day walk to San Sebastián. I don’t want to overplan the journey but would like to be organised for...

    First credencial stamp in Irun

    I am starting in Irun in March this year and since the albergue will not be open I would like to know if there is a church where I can get my first stamp in the credencial. Any tips from others who have previously walked in March would be much appreciated. I imagine there will be lots of rain...

    Thanks .I hadn’t considered Hondarribia but it does look like a very pretty town so first night there is a good option.

    Best way to get to Irun

    Thanks. I have booked a multi city flight this year which will be much easier and cheaper and time efficient.

    Best way to get to Irun

    Thanks. I didn’t realise there was a metro so that makes it much easier to get to Irun so I will take your advice and stay in SS first and then start the Camino in Irun. I don’t think the albergue in Irun will be open in March so would need to book a room there unless I catch an early morning...

    Best way to get to Irun

    I have flights booked from Perth ( Australia) to San Sebastian arriving in the late afternoon. Trying to decide whether to book a few nights in SS to have a rest / recovery day after the long flight and then train to Irun to walk back to SS or go straight to Irun and try and break the walk to SS...

    Advice for walking the Camino del Norte

    Thank you Andrew, I had initially thought I’d book 3 nights in San Sebastian- the first after arriving at the airport in the evening after almost 26 hours travelling and then a rest day to recover from jet lag and explore the city and then on the third day train to Irun and walk back to San...

    Advice for walking the Camino del Norte

    I am an older and slower walker and have also been looking for options for shorter distances. An AirBnB in Pasaia is a good idea - did it work out well ? Starting from Irun on about March 20th this year and both excited and nervous.
