    Primitivo vs 2nd half of Norte

    We have done both, the complete Norte in 2019 and this year the Norte to Oviedo then the Primitivo. To me the Primitivo is better than the last part of the Norte.

    Shortened version of Camino del Norte

    Take your time walking and enjoy the beauty of the Norte and take rest days in select cities and villages. Come back next year to finish. If you rush just to do the whole Norte in your alloted time schedule you'll miss out on many things. I took 43 days in 2019 and felt it was to fast, this year...

    Accomodation at Pasajes de San Juan

    Starting El Norte in Irun this Saturday, June 22

    Buen Camino! We just finished the Norte yesterday with our arrival in Santiago. It's a tough and rough Camino, however, persevere and be proud when you finish. The weather is wet now so walking to Muxia then Finisterre is not appealing. Bus looks good for that adventure. Enjoy your Camino Norte.

    Does it get better?

    Does it get easier? Well, not really. My wife and I are just three days from Santiago and although the land has flattened out somewhat after we turned inland, our bodies are tired so small hills are still tough. We started May 5 and will arrive Santiago on June 18. Two rest days helped during...

    Camino del Norte

    We are walking the Norte in a couple months. Could you expand on your comment regarding the last part. What could be the negatives? Thanks.
