    LIVE from the Camino Starting the Camino del Norte January 30th 2024

    I'm amazed at your ability to post photos in the morning before you start walking. Thanks for all the information and great descriptions, I really like the news about shops, cooking and sleeping plans. Enjoy your final days walking.

    Walking into and out of Bilbao

    Due to a series of events my small group of pilgrims took the Metro into Bilbao (one medical, other boot replacement). So we had a half-day there. We decided to walk along the right of the river into Portugalete and because of this we stayed in a very good "hostel" on that side. It was located...

    LIVE from the Camino Live from Camino del Norte

    Is this where the bridge was washed away and no access from the beach except via the bridge, forgive me if I'm wrong..but if you walk the beach and find the bridge out you have to go back to walk around...Please delete if this post is not relevant.

    Camino del Norte - March/April 2013

    I love the meeting up with old camino buddies, did that too, amazing. BUT never worried about a credencial?. Maybe when I walked the Norte I brought the Irish "passport" with me? On the Madrid I got it in Madrid. on the CF we used Irish passports/friends of St James Ire, I am very modest too...

    Albergues on camino norte

    There are many Monasteries and a few Convents..look them up, if they are "possible" do them? There is a coastal route where I swam near Ribadesella? (not going to get the book out to look them up) . Tapia? Norte has great choice.

    Arrival day on the Norte...a late March start 2014

    First time Camino

    I meet a young Portugese "boy" of 20 on the first day of my Camino Norte and we walked together (small group, eventually 5) almost all the way. he really enjoyed our company (2 older Irish ladies) and we enjoyed his. I would say go for the Norte, talk to everyone, make friends, our others were a...

    Northern Route in April-May 2014?

    (recommend finding a German friend as they have the best guidebooks) LOL....we met our Austrian friand with a German guide book at Guemes, his book was great for Maps, alternative road walking in the rain, he equally liked the CSJ guidebook I carried, the list of accommodations given to us in...

    Bridge out at the Playa de Arena

    Agree with Mike, in Apr 2012 it was closed for repair, no signs, my fellow pilgrims climbed onto it, up and over a very high fence in the middle and carried on (DO NOT DO IT), I went back, I tried to walk along the river bank and made attempts to cross DO NOT DO IT, eventually went back the kms...

    GPS Track for Camino del Norte

    I know you know this BUT.. there are many different options on the Norte Route, from day to day when walking one might decide to follow the route one is on rather than follow a signpost to the left-for eg it might leave the coast, it might go over a mountain, it might follow the corkscrew...

    Camino del Norte - Self made guide

    Camino Norte is great, the tourist office little books are also great. Baamonde, buy some supper ingredients, we were in a group and bought a chicken noodle soup and bread but ate also on the way, there are bars. And the little bar in the village deserves support. You are served breakfast in the...

    If you saw few pilgrims...?

    Neve Gerard said about switching routes if weather or lack of people goes against you, he is right. Remember these Caminos in Spain are populated, have good transport links, alternative routes for you if you want to go South. But, my first Camino Sep/Oct was a heat wave and I suffered, despite...
