    Is the Camino del Norte feasible in February? Are shelters open?

    We did most of the Norte just before the pandemic February-March 2020, and practically no albergue was open until Galicia where the junta albergues were all open, still we were only pilgrims there. We had no problems to find a place to sleep, but many times there were only one option. Double...

    El Brusco - That hill between Berria and Noja

    It was not bad for a 62 years old male with 14 kg backbag. I’m used to hike in Norway. I wore leather gloves on my hands so I could grasp bushes to keep my balance. I did this last month.

    Hiking poles in Bilbao

    Norte advice

    I’m almost sixty and i’m on Norte now, just fourth day. You can do without poles, but I have to confess that they are useful when going up on a soft surface and on muddy trails and there are plenty of both of them. Pension Kokxa in San Sebastián was excellent, cheap, clean and in old town.
