    My first El Camino

    MaryAnneS, I am not very comfortable sleeping with others in the same room and I care about my intimacy, so I stayed a lot in hotels and pensions. If you want, I can send you the list of the places I used. :)

    My first El Camino

    MaryAnneS, you can take a look at the albergue in Pobena here . After checking info regarding its availability I realized that it is open until the end of September, so, even if you want to go there, you can't. :) I suggest you take a look here and here to find information on (suggested) stages...

    Norte - Just Returned from a Great Experience!

    MaryAnneS, I also finished the Norte on the 9th of October. If you want to start in Bilbao, I suggest you take one full day to visit the city and skip the stage to Portugalete and go by train there or even to Muskiz and then walk to Pobena. I would also recommend you to go from Bilbao to San...

    My first El Camino

    So, back home after an amazing well deserved holiday! :D I left my country on the 15th of September, hoping to start walking on the very first day. Well, I couldn't since I reached Irun after 7PM :(. I planned to arrive in Santiago on the 10th of October, and had in mind just a little bit on...

    My first El Camino

    Dear Laurie, I visited Zaragoza (and I don't like it too much :( ). What I liked was the Cathedral and a very good vegetarian restaurant called Baobab. :D Thank you for the information provided! Time to go to bed... last sleep before El Camino! :) P.S.: my backpack is only 5.6kg!!!

    Starting Norte September 14 solo

    Hi, Pete! Thanks for the "update". I too was, like Simon, hoping del Norte would not be crowded. Well, anyway, it will be an interesting experience. :) Buen Camino!

    Starting Norte September 14 solo

    Simon, I suggest you take a look on www.blablacar.es where you can find some options to go from Bilbao to San Sebastian. There you can take a train to Irun. Currently there are three trips available that leave Bilbao after 15:00. They are also very cheap, 6-7 EUR. I will arrive in Irun on the...

    My first El Camino

    It's the final countdown! :) After a hectic period (that will be resumed after the end of my first Camino), I finally decided to start my "adventure". So, on the 15th of September I will land in Zaragoza heading to Irun in order to start del Norte. I plan to arrive in Santiago on the 10th of...

    My first El Camino

    Anemone, thanks for your reply. I will definitely choose del Norte. :) I asked about budget since last October I visited San Sebastian, Pamplona and Zaragoza and the northern part of Spain can get quite expensive. But it seems I was worried for nothing. :) Food is one of my concerns since, as I...
