    A documentary

    Greetings Mdelag! Luarca is a beautiful little harbor town. The villages that follow all the way to Ribadeo are are very nice! We enjoyed a day off in Ribadeo. The two days after Ribadeo are long but getting to Tapia de Casariego makes it worth it. Also there is a Parador in Vilalba that is...

    What's going on? Camino del Norte hard?

    Sorry you didn’t get your compostela! I agree with you in that the Camino Frances is getting out of hand with the amount of people. They should set a certain amount of time each day for people that have walked a full Camino. Some kind of distance pecking order! But congratulations on finishing...

    What's going on? Camino del Norte hard?

    I started following this thread early on with great interest. Now that I just finished (Last week) The Norte from Irùn to Santiago I can give a first hand recent account of what the Norte was like for a couple that are in their sixties (I’m 68, my wife 63), and have walked the Frances twice...

    What's going on? Camino del Norte hard?

    I’m with you..we start in late August and I’m turning 67 in September. My fourth Camino in four years. I too hope experience and training many miles on hard surfaces will serve me well on the Norte.

    Rooms in Deba

    Greetings all! I’ll be in Deba on August 25th. I started looking for a room for my wife and I but found nothing on that date. The Geltoki Pilgrims Hostel (an old train station) has 56 beds and I saw it got good ratings from pilgrims. Can any of you who have stayed there give me some information...
