    Numbers In July

    Thanks Peter, Looks like around 400 started in Irun and about 4000 completed the northern camino in July 2016. It's still difficult to gauge how busy it is from Santander onwards, but hopefully it won't be too quiet!

    Numbers In July

    Evening from a rainy Ireland!! It is that time of the year again when my thoughts turn to the Camino. Three years ago, I walked from Irun To St. Vincent. It was quite strenuous but it was absolutely beautiful - lovely fellow pilgrims as well - still in contact with two. Then last year I flew...

    Albergue in Irun

    I flew to Biarritz on Bastille day two years. There was very limited public transport to Irun. As a result I did not get to the Albergue until about 9 p.m. They could not have been nicer and I think I got the second last bed in the overflow room (garage). However for peace of mind I'd...

    How busy is it on camino del norte now?

    Thank you DJ King! Finance and time are conspiring against me. However hopefully I'll get there! Really surprising that there were so few on the camino, as it was quite busy this time two years ago. Hope you had a lovely camino.

    How busy is it on camino del norte now?

    Hi everyone, It is that time again, where the camino is calling me. I'm tempted to fly out to Santander on Sunday, then walk for six days. Flights are surprisingly cheap! Two years ago, I walked from Irun to Saint Vincente de Baquera. I didn't book accommodation and it worked out OK. I'm...

    Irun to Santiago

    http://tourism.euskadi.eus/contenidos/informacion/x65_folletos/en_x65/folletos/2011/santiago/Caminos%20del%20Norte%20INGLES.pdf You can download this pdf file to your phone. I really liked this guide. At a glance; it gave you an idea of daily elevations and distances between towns.

    Norte in July

    Hi AJ, I walked the Norte for two weeks last year. I started on the 14th of July. Before I went I was worried, that there would be limited accommodation. With one or two exceptions, there was room in most of the albergues. There were enough beds for pilgrims for the first four or five...

    Accommodation Irun - Day One

    Thanks MendiWalker, I only have 19 days, so I will not reach Santiago this time, but the camino is not going anywhere, so I'll hopefully be back next year to finish the second part of the Camino del Norte!

    Accommodation Irun - Day One

    Thanks MendiWalker! If it is too tough, I'll just do shorter stages. That is why I want some funds in reserve; just in case.

    Accommodation Irun - Day One

    Thanks Aidan for your prompt reply! I'm so looking forward to this camino now, even if I am not quite prepared for the hills!

    Accommodation Irun - Day One

    Hi everyone, I'm arriving in Irun, straight from Biarritz airport, next Monday afternoon. Is it possible to stay in the Hospital de Peregrinos de Irún albergue, even though I have not walked that day? I tried to book the other hostel on the camino, but it is already booked up. I've walked...
