Hello Mera,
I was lucky and had only one day of rain in three weeks. But the weather in the north can be unpredictable sometimes. I worked here for several month and it rains more often than in the rest of Spain. But that makes the nature so rich and beautiful. You may also encounter...
I just arrived at Gijon after a great evening and night at the Albergue La Ferreria in Amandi (2 km after Ribadesella). My Camino del Norte takes an end here. I have to return home as I had only three weeks of vacation. It is a sad moment as I would really love to continue. The experiences and...
Just arrived at Colunga. Today I had a full day of rain and hailstorms. The spanish people call the north of the country « the hat of Spain ». It takes all the rain and the rest of Spain stays much more dry. Somehow I was happy about that. I didn’t take my rain gear for nothing.
Here in...
I have arrived in Comillas today. As the Albergue Municipal is still closed I worried a bit, but there is now a new albergue: Albergue la Huella del Camino. It has opened two weeks ago. It is a private albergue.
I have done a lot of detours and shortcuts so far. The most impressive one was the...
Hi Laurie,
Indeed, these 50 seconds are not marked by yellow arrows. But it is a way (camino) that you suggested to go, and it is a way the wise pilgrim guide also suggests. MY Camino de Santiago went this way and I am happy that I chose this ~8 km like this. (And I don’t talk about all the...
This would be great. I will calculate and see if I can do it. But first I will feel my legs tomorrow morning. If they feel OK I am happy to give it a try. Thanks a lot
And here is finally what I took with me on the Camino and what works perfectly for me so far. I wanted to be very light. So my base weight is 4kg. It helps me a lot compared to my last Camino to have dropped more than 3kg.

I just had short time to visit it as I was there at 18:30, 30 minutes before it closed. I had visited Gernika some years ago as I lived 6 month in Bilbao for work.
Today I arrived in Bilbao. After my 30km of hike I couldn’t but visit the good old places again and added 3 more km walking through...
Yes, thanks a lot for making me aware of the alternatives. I was really happy to have decided to take that route for this part of the way. Absolutely amazing scenery.
As I was stuck in Gernika for half a day as the Albergue in Eskerika is still closed until 28/03, I took time to upload a small video to Youtube.
Here another small info about the Camino so far: The bridge in Deba is still closed. A detour has to be taken into accout. I think its about 1,5 km...
