We arrived early at Miraz and were kindly let in by the volunteers David & Carol. We had interrupted their lunch and yet they kindly invited us in for tea. We had a wonderful stay there and it was a highlight of our Norte Camino.
Having just walked through where they plan to divert the Norte away from I can't understand why. Of all the Norte it was the best marked, had the smallest amount of road walking and had some of the best albergues. Why mess with perfection?
I have just finished the Norte with a 38 litre Osprey. I had plenty of room for everything...even extra food. There has been lots of rain and few dryers so bring extra socks and a warm sleeping bag...also a good jacket and poncho.
I am on the Camino del Norte right now and have found it no trouble to be vegetarian. Vegan is another matter. I don't drink milk but do eat cheese and eggs. I have found soy milk in some shops but have not tried it as I can't finish a litre at a time. There are great salads, lots of fruit...
I too have just received the Cicerone Guide and am happy with it. I bought the Confraternity books also but they have no maps and I don't do well with just written guide so I won't be packing them. I am planning to walk in September and I really hope the rain has stopped by then as I wasn't...
