    Covadonga?

    Thank you for this. Since I will be staying near Ribadesella for three of four days to wander around on the GR9 and walk the coast and watch Bufones, I may try and find a way to walk directly from there to Arriondas and not head west on the Norte to Villaviciosa.

    Covadonga?

    When in September 2024 I resume my del Norte walk I will be starting again in the Village of Naves, Asturia I'm considering a side trip via GR 105 from the Norte just past Villaviciosa to Covadonga in the Picos Europa. Has anyone done this? If so, how was it? Not being a Pilgrimage rout I...

    Hugging the Coast on del Norte

    Go To Windy.com and zoom into the Northern Spain Coast. The Camino del Norte is shown and also the E9 route. I used the E9 as much as I could when it stayed near the coast. E9 and CdN are together much of the time.

    LIVE from the Camino Fourth time a charm?

    A couple of months ago I posted a rather long bit about my misadventures on the Camino del Norte and my three attempts to walk from Irun to Santiago. "Try, try again". Well now I'm at it again at 84 years old. I got back on in San Vicente de la Barquera and I'm heading to Oveido on these wobbly...

    I just booked the Albergue Piedad in Boos. One night for $120 US. But other sources show around $40 US. What gives? Are these the new "Post Covid prices? If so, wow.

    Making the first day of Norte a bit easier

    It was September also. I left the Albergue in Irun about seven and arrived at Pasai about one. There were quite a few beds available until around five PM. I saw about four people looking for other accommodations. The best eateries were reportedly across the bay, but if I recall it was a 1...

    Current situation on Del Norte - late August 2022

    Good to hear as I'm resuming my 2019 Covid Interruptus walk on the Del Norte in Santander on September 8th. Planning on taking the 30k coastal path to BOO and having my pack transported by Correos for the very first time in what will be seven Camino walks. Hopefully this will be only one...

    Making the first day of Norte a bit easier

    It somewhat depends which path you take across the ridge from the Sanctuary. The highest path which I took, is much more scenic, but more rugged than the ridge side path(s). At 70 (in 2019) I took the top path and I have a video on my YouTube channel showing it. I did stop in Pasai Donebane at...

    Does anyone know if the Casa Rural Koostei in Olatz is open? Wise Pilgrim has it listed, but a comment on the app from a last year says that it is closed.

    Reusing my Credential

    Thanks, I knew this but that was not my question.

    Reusing my Credential

    Due to illness last May (2018) I stopped my walk on the Del Norte in Deba and returned to the US. I now have my ticket to return to Deba this coming September to walk on. Do you think I will be able to continue with my former credential even though it will show a time gap of over a year since...
