    Newbie with lots of questions!

    I can tell you from experience (I'm current in the Norte) June accommodation will more at plainty but also you will be competing with the tourists for the most part they can care less if you are a tourist or peregrino weekend prices double sometimes triple as in the case in in San Sebastián...

    Suggestions for Camping along the Camino Del Norte

    Islares for sure 10€ The albergue it's really bad anyway so I sleep in a small ship container with a heater and lights can't beat that I would sleep in a container any time comparing to sleeping with 20 farting and snoring pilgrims :)

    My impressions and stages of Norte/Primitivo May 25-June 27, 2014

    Please by no means I'm not casting any judgment on you choices, my only words are the Norte is tough and if had walked all of it you would know by taking taking the bus/train you spared your self a lot of pain Zzotte

    Why you should not walk the Camino del Norte (or at least not until you have read this post!)

    Thank you Spur, JP and Marc for your answers, I for one like the road less traveled, but thought if you have to sleep on top of tables because of rats one could at least tell which albergue, ( bars don't count) :) it's lots of information here in our forum and it's great to know directly from...
