    Water sources along Camino del Norte?

    Just drink beer. ;) In all seriousness, you'll find water sources, fountains and such, though always carry extra if you plan on a long day - JUST IN CASE! Cafe and restaurant owners will happily fill up your bottle. Don't camp. I've written about this before. Just don't. That is, of course...

    Following the coast from Santander to Boo

    Maps.me is also a wonderful resource. Not sure if this was mentioned. Downloaded maps which can be used offline. I also have "wise pilgrim" app and guide book, but I think maps.me or google maps will be much better for this particular leg of the journey.

    Following the coast from Santander to Boo

    Maybe it is a time issue? I know in the past I just blazed right through. I returning now with the sole intention to spend time in certain areas/towns simply to enjoy them, the people, the history. But the more I read, the more I realize how the direct path isn't always the best. :) <3

    Following the coast from Santander to Boo

    I'm leaving Santander on the 30th - this is gonna be my route! In the past, on my previous caminos, I blew right through and didn't take this way. But now, having made it to Santiago many-a-time, I want to go slow, maybe even spend a few days enjoying this particular section. <3

    Suitable wild camping spots along the Camino del Norte?

    I had to urinate during one of my first treks, so I walked up and over a small hill. There was a path, so I wasn't treading anywhere that I wasn't supposed to be. I crested the hill and came upon a horrible mess of waste, mostly from others who had a similar idea. However, it wasn't urine but...

    May/June vs Sept/Oct?

    I'm heading out in early April. Just head west. I'm recovering from cancer and still have many impairments... I think this is about 70% of the reasoning behind my decision to head out once again - I need to just be. If I feel that at any point it's too much, I can always rest for a number of...

    Walking Northern Way by self

    Hey! I too can only speak for the Frances, but I feel that what I discovered there during my two treks ('06 and recent over Christmas/New Year '10-'11) speaks for the Spanish people as a whole: they are lovely, friendly and helpful people! I speak conversational (+) Spanish, so this certainly...

    Guide Camino del Nord

    Hello Friend Not sure if you can speak Spanish or not... but if you can (or are willing to learn some basics) this seems like it might be a good guide - http://www.jacobeo.net/index.php?modulo=16. I will be using this on my upcoming Camino! :) Hope this helps! ENDS

    Wow! You should write a travel guide -- this makes it sound absolutely beautiful! :) (Thank you!)

    Starting Point?

    Hello Jean-Marc Thank you for the info! After all the reading I've been doing I kinda assumed there wasn't much of a difference! Also, after checking train times (SNCF.FR) it seems that Hendaye is the end of the line, so this seems like a logical place for most pelegrinos. Thanks again! ENDS

    Starting Point?

    Hi Just wondering if anyone has a preference on starting point for El Camino (del Norte)? Is there any real difference (other than a few KMs) between starting in Hendaya or Irun? I just want to make sure I get to do the "alpinista" (sp?) route. This is, if I'm not mistaken, after Irun... right...

    Thank you both for info/advice! I was dead set on doing the CF again this year... but for some reason I am being pulled to do del Norte... should follow that inclination I suppose! Thanks again! :D

    Trail Marking

    Hi Everyone I did the camino Fances in 2006 and now I am trying to figure out if I should re-do it or opt for the Norte. I was wondering if someone could advise me on which guide book to buy? I have been hunting the web, but there ins't too much out there. Also, how well is the way marked on the...
