    Pavement!!!

    I don't remember that much sealed surface ... but that could be because there was too many other wonderful things to focus on. Also, I often used Google maps to find other "ways" to get to my accommodation ... and, surprisingly, ran into many other pilgrims doing the same (and often had locals...

    Planning Camino del Norte: Tips from experienced hikers

    I saw the Camino described as an "urban trek", and I think that describes it pretty well. My suggestion, don't overplan ... just let it happen. "The Camino provides" ... Buen Camino.

    Best transport from BCN to Irun

    I flew from Barcelona to Irun for less than €100 in 2019. Arrived about 8 am and had a lovely day investigating the area. 👍🏽

    place to sleep

    I'm returning to my camino in September, and have no plans to book anything more than a day ahead if I feel it is necessary (like I might arrive late). I just try to arrive early at my destination ... worked fine last time. Buen Camino

    Coffee in the Morning?

    Sometimes you just have to flexible and adapt. I think the facilities along the Norte are more than adequate to cater for Pilgrim "needs". Not a big fan of everyone having to adapt to "my needs" ... I prefer to "live like a local" ... and expand my cultural experiences.

    Beautiful towns on the Norte

    Headed back to Ribadesella next month to pick up where I left off pre-covid. My thoughts while I was there ... "I could live here." 💕 Thanks for the link. 👍🏽

    Alternate route after Castro Urdiales

    That is the path I took and would not recommend it unless you are experienced, with someone else, and it is completely dry.

    Suggestions for Camino del Norte in June?

    Check out the Editorial Buen Camino app ... there are many options for accommodation so you can adjust your walking distances to whatever suites you ... even on the day. I walked it at 72 with very little in the way of training, but as an experienced walker, I knew what to expect and had no...

    5 “Unproven” Facts About Norte

    In regards to #3 ... All churches were built on top of hills ... I'm sure 🫡

    Packing for del Norte in June

    It's an "urban trek" with a few challenges in between towns. If you need anything you don't have, it's, more than likely, easily obtainable along the way. The Camino provides ... there is very little to be concerned about. Buen Camino.

    Camino del Norte Accommodations

    There should be few problems with accommodation in May. Arriving at your destination each day by about 1 pm should be fine. There were a couple times I was the only person at the albergue ... or one of 5. There was no need to rush from one place to another ... one of the reasons I chose the Norte.

    terrain of Camino del Norte

    The thing on the Norte that stood out for me (though I suppose it's the same on most caminos) ... most of the churches are on top of hills. A lot of walking up and down when there are actually routes you could take "around" if you didn't mind not going to every church ... which is an actual...

    Need input on Northern Route

    I walked in May and June and found it quite wet. I suspect March to be even more so. Don't expect to take many dips into the ocean. 🥶

    Reflections of the Camino Norte in October.

    Not every culture has "quality control", and to "expect" a Club Med standard wherever you go .... well, you miss out on learning about life outside your bubble. I'm sure the locals could share many stories about the "kinds of visitors" who "take advantage" of their kindness and generosity ...
