    Industrial Walking along the Norte...

    I walked the Norte and Primitivo, then Finisterre/Muxia in 41 days this spring, which was enough time, but my only rest day was in Finisterre and I started in San Sebastian. Instead of rest days, in the first two weeks I shortened two stages with transport. As others have noted, it's...

    yellow arrows

    I can only speak to the first part of the Norte, which I walked this spring before turning south onto the Primitivo. I can't compare it relative to how well other routes are marked. As others have indicated, I found it pretty well-marked, most of the time, so for the most part just following...

    I have similar fear of heights. I did almost all of the coastal alternatives and managed it. If you’re taking pictures, just stop walking while you’re finding/taking your shot (!). In Ribadesella I started on the non-coastal path and used a cross road to get to coastal path halfway thru. The...

    Bilbao Starts Tour de France 2023

    Just completed my first day (first Camino) on Norte - 16.5 miles (26.5 km for the metric challenged, including me, I had to do the conversion) yay!), learned that TdF starts in Bilbao July 1, 2023 and Vitoria-Gasteiz and San Sebastián July 2. Just a heads up for those thinking of that time...

    Looking for Advice on Timing to Walk Camino del Norte/Primitivo

    I am starting in San Sebastian mid-April, continuing to Primitivo and finishing in Finisterre and Muxia by end of May! First time, can't wait! It seems like one needs to be prepared for every type of weather on this path and at this time, just hoping not too much mud (ugh!)
