    Help Identify this Spot on the Camino del Norte

    WOW! This was very exciting! Thank you all!

    Skippable Stages?

    I agree, you have plenty of time. Donť worry, you"ll make it. The Primitivo is more difficult than the Norte after Santander and maybe the weather will become worse, so if I were you, I'd plan shorter sections on the Primitivo. Buen Camino!

    Kickoff in Irun

    The albergue will be full, I guess. But the hospitalero might help you. About 8 years ago he suggested that I stay at a youth hostel (quite far from the albergue) and I followed his advice. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the hostel.

    Is the camino del Norte in August a terrible idea?

    In July the Norte is not too crowded. But August is a bit different, as mentioned above. So I suggest you start at the beginning (or at latest in the middle)of July) if you want to avoid the holidaymakers.

    Which part of the Camino de North?

    It is advisable to take the bus from Oviedo to Aviles - this is what I also did. However, I agree that the Primitivo is much more challenging. :cool:

    Which part of the Camino de North?

    Hi Amir, Some people continue the Norte from Oviedo via Aviles, so it's also an option. https://www.gronze.com/camino-norte Buen Camino!

    Can I start Northern caminos from Muros de Nalon city?

    Hi Gint, I started my Camino in Santander in July and I didn't have a credencial. I took an old one with me hoping that later I will be able to obtain a new one. However, on the very first day I was given a sheet of paper by the hospitalera which was meant to substitute the credencial so I...

    Coastal alternative Between Castro Urdiales and Laredo

    In July I met a middle-aged Canadian woman who had walked this route with two other pilgrims and was happy to be still alive. She also showed me some photos. As for me, I don't think I would ever want to climb these rocks. :rolleyes:o_O;)

My...

    Gluten free on the Camino del Norte

    Hi Jane, I have walked 10 Caminos without gluten. :) During the last few Caminos I had almost no problem. There might be difficulties in the mountains without villages and bars/shops or in boiling hot weather when you can't carry proper extra food with you. Bread lasts only for 2 days in the...

    La Isla albergue closed for "obras"

    What a pitty! Casa Belén is run by a German couple and it is one of the best private albergues. However, they don't advertise themselves. It is an unforgettable feeling when somebedy is walking there exhausted and thirsty and then unexpectedly comes across this wonderful place.

    Weather conditions now in June ??

    liiluuk, when you are in the albergue, ask the hospitalero if there is a dryer (secadora). Luckily, now you can often find one. This is the only help. :cool: My experience shows that if it rains there, you will get wet after a while, even if you have the best poncho. ;)

    Important update about San Sebastian municipal albergue

    Hi Arthur. Thank you for this very useful information. My friend and I are planning to spend our first night there on Monday, 18th July. It was a very long way to the "old" albergue so I am happy that we won't have to walk in vain. :)
