Accommodations on Camino Norte ( and other questions!)
When I walked the Norte last year all the municipal albergues after Irun were closed until Galicia due to COVID. Despite this I was always able to find somewhere to stay, although I did have to book ahead some nights. One weekend was a problem because I arrived at my planned stop too early and...- John Cook

5 “Unproven” Facts About Norte
When I walked the Norte in April/May last year I found the opposite regarding the weather, compared to the OP. I think on every day that I saw a weather forecast, it mentioned rain. In practice I had a few quick hailstorms in the very beginning of April and 1 day of rain, about three weeks in...- John Cook

April Camino del Norte
That sounds like a great route. I'm interested in walking the Norte and Primitivo but was put off by the thought of the latter joining the Francis so soon, which is far too crowded for my taste. When I walked the Norte I wanted to carry on along the coast to join up with the Ingles but couldn't...- John Cook

Weather near the start of the Camino del Norte, mid-April 2022
I've been walking the Norte for just over 3 weeks and have just crossed into Galicia. My phone tells me nearly every day that there will be showers the next day but apart from a few small ones at the start and constant rain the previous one and a half days, the weather has been very kind. It's...- John Cook

Municipal Albergues in the Basque Region
Yes, that's where I stayed two nights ago. There were only 4 of us. Last night I stayed at the Albergue Pozueta where there were 11 of us and we were told it had been full the previous night so it pays to think ahead. I'm not surprised it was full though, it's one of the best I've stayed at. The...- John Cook

Municipal Albergues in the Basque Region
Hi, I started the Camino Norte last week and am currently in Bilbao. This may have already been mentioned but I was told by the hospitalero at Albergue Izarbide that all the municipal albergues in the Basque region have been closed since the start of the pandemic as the regional government...- John Cook
