    Camino del Norte advise please

    I walked it in September. It was still busy and the Spanish summer holidays fell into part of it. I never struggled for accommodation though or heard of anyone else struggling. I would just recommend booking larger cities ahead of time. There is a yearly festival in Bilbao at the beginning of...

    Current situation on Del Norte - late August 2022

    I am in Santilla tonight, due to two shut albergues the albergue in Boo was full last night but as far as I know no one was turned away, there were tents for them. The albergue in Santilla is large so plenty of space. However Comillas is fully booked for tomorrow night already so pilgrims need...

    Current situation on Del Norte - late August 2022

    I was in Guemes and now Santander. Guemes half full and Santander only four people. Both albergues say the crowds have dropped dramatically over the past few days

    Current situation on Del Norte - late August 2022

    Yes me too, I will arrive in Bilbao today and start walking tomorrow and see how it goes. I'm not too bothered about missing stages because I completed the GR65 and I'm happy to go home with that achievement.

    That's great info thanks, especially that whatsapp is a possibility as I need to use Google translate in Spain. My plan at the moment is to get a bus from Pamplona to Bilbao tomorrow and hopefully have skipped the worst part

    Current situation on Del Norte - late August 2022

    Thanks for this and for being honest. I do have my tent with me but I'm not sure how much that would help. Do you think skipping past Bilbao would make a difference? I'm not a purist I'm happy to skip sections, I've completed the GR65 already so anything else now is a bonus. I could wait it out...

    Current situation on Del Norte - late August 2022

    Hi fellow pilgrims, Is there anyone currently on the Norte that can advise on how the accommodation is coping? I've just finished the Le Puy route and crossed the Pyrenees. I will be in Pamplona tomorrow and would like to switch to the Norte. I really don't want to get stuck in a bed race...

    Camino Norte Pilgrim numbers are down on 2019

    I'm starting the Norte in a couple of weeks after finishing the Le Puy route so I'm actually glad to hear numbers have gone down rather than up. I'm dreading a bed race after the relaxation of the Le Puy route.
