    Start in Irun or San Sebastian - WWYD?

    I started in Biarritz and enjoyed the walk from there to Irun. If you don't start in Biarritz I would definately start in Irun as the walk from there to SS is very nice with some great views. Whatever you decide I am sure you will enjoy as the Norte is a lovely camino.

    Bathing Suit or Not

    I walked the Norte last May/June and went for a swim (without bathing suit) just to say I had swum in the Atlantic. It was freezing. I would not bother taking swimmers as if you really want a swim go in your undies or with nothing.

    Currently walking Norte. While at Guemes (2 June) a number of pilgrims picked up bedbugs. Also heard a couple of days ago that others had experienced bugs prior to this. 2 nights later 3 of us were in room 3 at Camping Santillana. One person woke at 11.30pm yelling out she had bugs all over...

    Wanted: Travel Companions for Camino Norte 2014

    Like Angela I am also planning the Norte for a mid May 2014 start in Bayonne or Biarritz. Am sure there will be a number of pilgrims starting around this time. Am always happy to walk with others or meet at the end of the day.
