Doing Norte route - hopefully Spring or Autumn 2018 - but getting freaked out by weather...
I walked in Oct. 2015. A number of days the storms were intense. I caught a touch of pneumonia and had to go to the hospital and take almost a week off. I wouldn't do it again.- PastorCat

Hi! I'm leaving from LA too - though not until 8/23. Landing in San Sebastian on 8/24. Planning to begin the Camino on 8/26 (want to enjoy a day in SS) Vacillating between walking the Camino Frances or Norte. Frances if I'm alone. Norte if I can find a walking mate.- PastorCat

Camino del Norte - 75% abreast of motorways?
Hi Mike and thank you. "40% quiet country lanes/roads and cycle paths, around 40% trail which is a mix of proper trail and gravelly farm roads." is fine; even if the 20% balance is along highly traffic-ed freeway or motorway or whatever one wants to call it. My worry was arriving to find 75%...- PastorCat

Camino del Norte - 75% abreast of motorways?
Yes. That was the paragraph that sparked my attention. I think for many Americans, the phrase, "paved road" is equivalent to 'motorway;' although even in the states we have regional words for that. In the west they are called 'freeways,' in the east they are called, toll-roads or highways. Along...- PastorCat

Camino del Norte - 75% abreast of motorways?
This is not intended to be a "trolling post," but in my planning I've come upon a blog post from a German pilgrim that described Camino del Norte as being 75% on motorways. If that's accurate, that's a surprise. I had selected the North Way because I understood it traversed landscape far more...- PastorCat

Camino del Norte - start in Saint Jean, Irun, or San Sebastian?
WOW - so much info! Thanks everyone for being so helpful. I am still working my route out in my head. I think the best advice is to start the north route in Irun. For others who find this thread and are curious about the route from SJ to Irun, I found this itinerary quite helpful...- PastorCat

Camino del Norte - start in Saint Jean, Irun, or San Sebastian?
Hi all! I'm walking the northern route in September (2015), and I'm trying to decide where to being the pilgrimage. I'm hoping to meet a few folks near the beginning - which leads me to shoot for Saint Jean. But because the northern route isn't typically walked from there, would I just be...- PastorCat
