Difficulty - Norte from Gijon to SDC
I walked from Bilbao to Santiago when I was 70 (with my backpack). I did not find it difficult. There was one long but not very steep hill. No mountains to climb. Just take your time and it will likely be fine. Good luck.- Joe.Iozzi

Comparing alpinista route with StJPdP-Ronscesvalles
The first day's climb may only be 500 meters but what makes the first week of the Notre tough is the cumulative accent and decent, over 4,000 meters in the first week. I agree with Laurie's recommendation to take the GR. You can follow the GR trail along the coast most of the way to Ribadeo...- Joe.Iozzi

Camino del Norte
In my opinion, if you are not used to walking in mountainous country and are not in great shape, it is best to begin in Bilbao. The first few days from Irun toward Bilbao have great scenery but also a lot of elevation gain every day, ranging from over 500 meters (about 1,450 feet) to over 900...- Joe.Iozzi
