    Accommodation in San Sebastian?

    We stayed at Hotel Parma when we walked the Norte. Nice modern place with breakfast. It also had A/C which was a treat while walking in the summer months.

    is there an app that does that? I would be definitely interested.

    Good map apps for El Norte?

    We used maps.me and had no problems whatsoever. Works great offline. Search for GPX tracks on this fourm. Someone posted links for all Caminos and alternate routes. Open them in maps.me or google earth and your set.

    Impressions from the covid Norte - walked Gijon to Finisterre, August 2020

    We walked the Norte last August and only saw 5-10 pilgrims a day. Sometimes none. It is expensive but so well worth it Buen Camino

    Del Norte - October 1st start from Irun

    We walked the Norte Aug-Sept last year and stayed in hotels the entire time. We used Booking for reservations and had no issues. We did have to book a couple days in advance in some of the more tourist towns. We started in Irun and only saw 5-10 pilgrims a day all the way to Santiago and this...

    The Norte, a day by day account

    Congratulations! We just finished a week ago and can relate to how you must feel. The Norte was a tough walk for me, more mentally than physically.

    “Bed race” You should read this before attempting Camino Del Norte in July/August.

    We’re at Comillas now and it has picked up just a little but still only a handful of pilgrims a day.

    Scared of heights

    We went over the Alto de brusco today. It was sunny and not that bad.

    “Bed race” You should read this before attempting Camino Del Norte in July/August.

    I’m on the Norte now just outside Markina. I have literally only seen 6 pilgrims since we started in Irun. We do stay in pensions and leave around 9am but I’m surprised reading this and how crowded other people have observed. Buen Camino. Hope to see some of you.

    “Bed race” You should read this before attempting Camino Del Norte in July/August.

    I’m a self admitted spreadsheet Pilgrim who leaves in two days for the Norte. This is our third Camino and we prefer to stay in private rooms and also like to know our daily destination. I’m in the process of booking now and noticed how expensive this route can be. It rivals the Italian part...

    Camino del Norte

    We are walking the entire Norte starting next month and planing the stages now. We are spreadsheet pilgrims and also stay in private rooms. So far we were able to find hotels From San Sebastián to Bilbao about every 25kms or less every day. I’m using the gronze site And booking.com.

    How well is The Norte marked?

    My wife and I are starting in Irún in mid August this year and I was wondering how well the path is marked. We have done the CF which is hard to get lost. We also did 1/2 of the Via Francegina and had to use GPS a couple of time to stay on course. I would rather not turn on the phone this time...
