Del Norte or primitivo

Time of past OR future Camino
June 2015
Hello, i would like to know which one should i take, the camino del norte or primitivo. I will be there in June, and will star at Bilbao. I think i woul prefer Del Norte, because i want to see the ocean. I also whant to see nice village with church or old building. How is the Albergue on the Del Norte in June, should i reserve in advance? and should i bring a sleeping bag or just a liner?

Thank you

@Dodog if you are starting in Bilbao you'll have had plenty of the Norte before you have to make decisions about switching to Oviedo and the Primitivo. You will have seen lots of ocean.

There are plenty of old villages with old buildings, and some stunning examples of modernist and modern architecture to be enjoyed as well.

As for Albergues, wait till you are on the ground. You will get a feel for how many other pilgrims are on the road and can book a day or so ahead if you feel the need. www.gronze.com will give you lots of information about accommodation and facilities.

And as for a sleeping bag / liner... Where are you from? Do you sleep in a centrally heated house? What do you usually use? Would you rather wear extra clothing in bed than carry a sleeping bag?

Buen camino and happy planning
 
[QUOTE = "Tincatinker, poste: 584843, membre: 14061"] [USER = 44837] @Dodog [/ USER] Si vous démarrez à Bilbao, vous aurez eu beaucoup de Norte avant de devoir prendre la décision de passer à Oviedo et le Primitivo. Vous aurez vu beaucoup d'océan.

Il y a beaucoup de vieux villages avec de vieux bâtiments, et quelques exemples renversants d'architecture moderniste et moderne à apprécier aussi bien.

Quant à Albergues, attendez que vous soyez sur le terrain. Vous aurez une idée du nombre d'autres pèlerins sur la route et pourrez réserver un jour ou deux si vous en ressentez le besoin. www.gronze.com vous donnera beaucoup d'informations sur l'hébergement et les installations.

Et comme pour un sac de couchage / doublure ... D'où venez-vous? Dormez-vous dans une maison chauffée au centre? Qu'est-ce que vous utilisez habituellement? Préféreriez-vous porter des vêtements supplémentaires dans votre lit plutôt que de porter un sac de couchage?

Buen camino et bonne planification [/ QUOTE]
