    Norte albergue

    I was “stuck” in SS for 6 nights in 2019 due to a knee issue that required a visit to the ER. I was at Downtown River Hostal for two nights and at A Room in the City for four. Both are on Booking. The second is the better location, closer to the beach promenade and old town. I would...

    Meandering my way after dodgy start

    Cudillero is a beautiful spot, but anyone that lives there must have legs of steel. I gave up on the idea of trying to climb the maze of alleyways leading to the top.

    LIVE from the Camino Mera on the Norte

    That’s weird because BOOKING shows several albergue type accommodations available for tonight (Oct 5).

    Just how difficult is the Camino Norte ?

    The bridge into Portomarín, on the Francés, isn’t as bad, but I walked in the road (not heavily traveled) rather than on the sidewalk next to the railing. Fun fact: I’ve skydived three times.

    I thought I was going to DIIIIIIIIIE!!!!!

    wax stamp

    I see someone provided pictures. Here is the video: It’s before Miraz because he’s asking if that is my destination.

    wax stamp

    I have one. I took a video of him doing it. I will look through my photos and vids and try to pin point the location.

    Expensive Accommodations!

    I did the Norte in 2019. Prices definitely more than Francés with fewer choices. Irún is VERY high for what you get. You can see from this list that options and prices vary WIDELY. May 6: Overnight Flight May 7: Irún Pensión Lizaso €40 May 8: Irún...

    Ribadeo Bridge

    Your feelings describe mine to a “T.” I am glad that I am not alone. I get that same “throw myself off” feeling and I often use the word “irrational” in my comments to others. I could not touch the railing. I held on to the fence on the highway side, kept my gaze on my feet, and walked...

    Ribadeo Bridge

    I see I was mentioned in one of the comments. Here is my video.

    Camino Norte + heights

    I just can’t be near an edge. If I lived in a high rise, I’d probably never go out on the balcony unless it was VERY wide and I could be sufficiently back from the edge. P.S. I’ve been skydiving 3 times. Figure THAT out!

    Camino Norte + heights

    Here is the link to the short video I made while on the bridge:

    Camino Norte + heights

    I did about two-thirds of the Norte on foot, the rest via bus or train because of poor weather. I too have the “unprotected edge” height issue and don’t remember anything that set it off - EXCEPT THAT BRIDGE - OMG!!! - THAT BRIDGE!!!!! There is a high fence on the traffic side, but the railing...

    Wise Pilgrim apps

    The Camino Places app is listed as “currently unavailable in your region”. Is it only accessible once you are in Spain?

    Where oh where can it be? Pilgrim Passport.

    The church in the old part of San Sebastian, Santa María del Coro, has them. I saw them in a drawer behind the counter where I bought my ticket to visit the church.

    Day 1 Irun/San Sebastian -recommendations please

    I just did this route yesterday and the day before. In my opinion, Irún to Pasaia is far and away the winner. I had two completely cloudless days and it was absolutely AMAZING. I took the high route (purgatorio) which gives views both north and south. If the weather is bad, rain, fog, etc...

    First credencial stamp in Irun

    There is no cathedral in Irún (or San Sebastián), since neither is a diocese. But there are several parish churches in each.

    Number of walking days.

    That is helpful to me. Thank you.

    Number of walking days.

    Gronze has it divided into 35 stages with about 10 of them over 25kms. That, of course, does not include any rest days, inclement weather days, or simply days taken for sightseeing in larger cities such as San Sebastián, Bilbao, Santander, Oviedo, etc. I want to do it next year and have...
