Hi all
Well I really do have the Camino bug. Having cycled from Leon to Santiago in 2011 and St Jean to Leon last year, now I think i'm going to try and do the Camino De Norte route. I will be taking my trusty hybrid which has served me well so far...
I can only get 8 days off work so won't be able to tackle the whole lot and am thinking that my best bet is to go from Aviles to Santiago, via Ribadeo.
So my questions are - has anyone done this and if so is it a good idea?
How much more difficult is it than the Camino Frances?
Is May an okay time to do it in terms of decent weather and being able to get into albergues?
Any tips or suggestions?
As always your thoughts and recommendations are hugely appreciated - it was people on this board who made my last two Caminos such a total joy.
