    First timer! Any advice?

    I found some of the coastal variations not to clear. Any long stages are up to you/ your ability it is not a race so plan your stops each day on how you feel some of my days 17 Km one day 31km . My footwear North Face cross trainers . Hope this helps enjoy the Norte I did.

    First timer! Any advice?

    Hi I finished the Norte in Santiago in December (went thru to Finisterre via Muxia)having started in Irun 25th October . The way is clearly marked with arrows and shells (Camino symbol) all the way .So the way is already mapped out for you. I am sure you will enjoy the Norte

    Walking poles for Camino del Norte

    For what it is worth poles waste of space and not required if you are able bodied. I often wonder why people use them.
