    Official new alternative route from Boimorto to Lavacolla

    My wife and I stayed at the Twin Pines in September 2022. We found the Dutch owner to be very friendly and helpful. He cooked a lovely dinner for the 8 of us staying. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. While we ate dinner the huge TV was on with the news programme running and they...

    LIVE from the Camino Walking the Norte Trail: Journey Interrupted and Resumed

    Caroline and I walked from Irun to Ribadesella in 2018 and your description brought back so many great memories. That first day to San Sebastian can be pretty challenging. Buen Camino

    Weather!

    I eventually settled on eltiempo.es for our trip in August/September to complete the Norte from Ribadesella. It seemed pretty reliable.

    Albergue de Peregrinos Santa Ana

    It’s cooler too. We have always found it easier to get started in the cool if the day starting at sunrise. Gives time for a beer in the shade at the end :)

    Albergue de Peregrinos Santa Ana

    Hi Jeanne, Have you checked and confirmed that the Albergue has reopened? If so, what time does it open to pilgrims in the afternoon? Aim to be there by the time it opens and you should be fine, earlier is better. Caroline and I started from Irun in 2018 around that date. We probably started...

    An amazing albergue on the Norte — Parga Natura

    Hi @dimdog i have booked this albergue for my wife and I as it unlocks a much more doable pair of stages from Vilalba to Sobrado. It’s wonderful to read a recommendation. Thank you.

    Accommodation issues (a warning)

    I’ve found all of the above recently as I book our attempt at the second half starting from Ribadesella towards the end of August (had to abandon in 2019 due to family stuff). Prices are definitely higher but really recommend contacting directly where possible.

    Camino Del Norte Paying It Forward - Save 8km between Vilalba and Sobrado

    Thank you very much for this information. It is really timely because I have been trying to figure out how to manage that long stage to Miraz. This seems perfect.

    feve train and camino del norte

    Hi, very interesting approach. I suggest you check the FEVE timetable very carefully before committing. I wanted to use it back in 2018 and 2019 but it was totally impractical, there just were not enough trains. Ian

    Has anyone used baggage transport on the Del Norte?

    Hi, I cannot recommend the Correos service highly enough. Here's their URL: https://www.elcaminoconcorreos.com/en/. Caroline and I have used the on both the Primitivo (2017) and last year on the first half of the Norte. Usually we send on Caroline's bag because she has back issues. Then last...

    5 days on the Norte

    Hi Jane, I completely disagree with whoever told you that there is no pretty scenery, Allowing for the fact that beauty is always "in the eye of the beholder", in my opinion the Norte offers some of the most striking scenery that I have seen in 9 years of walking Caminos (Frances, Portugues...

    I'm doing the ancient coastal and northern route Camino in September do you have a reccommended website for all the best info in English please?

    A good guide book covering both the Camino del Norte and the Primitivo is “The Northern Caminos” published by Cicerone in UK. Also, Camino del Norte published by Village to Village Map Guides. Mind you I also have the Wise Pilgrim app and almost every day find that bits of the route have been...
