My husband and I walked the first half of the Norte last year. We found all the coastal alternatives on the Mapy.cz app. The alternatives between Zumaia and Deba are fabulous.
We are currently in Nojas, 10 days in. Periodic rain, nothing heavy, for the past 3 days. It was warm in San Sebastian (85 F) but otherwise mostly 60s. Feeling blessed!
We are staying in private accomodations, booked ahead, so can’t comment on availability otherwise or business of albuerges...

I am walking the Norte in June/July. Only have 34 days, want to walk mostly 20K stages and have some rest days to play, so will probably need to skip about 250 km. Any suggestion for the best (worst?) parts to skip? My friend who is walking with me has never been to Santiago, so we will have...
My friend and I (57 and 65) will have about a month to walk mid June to mid July. We were considering San Salvador and Primitivo, but this is our first walk (I have biked the Frances). Neither of us are interested in the Frances but since she has not had the Santiago experience we are willing to...
