El Camino-sola en marzo- cuales desvios valen la pena?

[kait000]

Saludos peregrin@s!!!

Tengo pensado empezar el camino del norte desde Irun la ultima semana de febrero - No tengo tiempo para planearlo / investigar los albergues etc pero no creo q hace falta ; ) mi plan es llegar al primer pueblo y empezar a caminar no mas .. tengo el vuelo desde santiago a casa el 30 de marzo.

. Voy sola y con mi carpa (supongo que la infraestructura en esta epoca no esta a full) y os pregunto si debo llevar la cocinilla tambien? (Todo mi equipo es 'ultralight' de alpinistas; estoy acostumbrada caminar con peso y no me complica llevarlo)
. He visto que hay varios desvios y opciones de incluir otros pueblos o sitios historicos, en esto pido ayuda al grupo. Por favor avisen cuales son los que no debo perder : )

Muchisimas gracias y buen camino a tod@s!!!

Greetings peregrin @ s !!!

I plan to start the north road from Irun the last week of February - I do not have time to plan / investigate the hostels etc but I do not think it is necessary; ) My plan is to get to the first town and start walking no more .. I have the flight from santiago to home on March 30th.

. I go alone and with my tent (I suppose that the infrastructure in this time is not to full) and I ask you if I must take the cooker too? (All my equipment is 'ultralight' of climbers, I am used to walking with weight and I do not complicate taking it)
. I have seen that there are several deviations and options to include other peoples or historical sites, in this I ask for help to the group. Please advise which ones I should not miss

Thank you very much and good way to all!

Gaztelugatxe is not far from Bilbao and might be worth taking a day to visit. See

There is a thread currently devoted to this precise topic -- which detours are recommended on the Norte. https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/staying-an-extra-day-in-which-towns.45419/

I will not offer advice on whether to bring your stove. However previously someone asked a question about how easy it would be to buy fuel along the camino. I wrote a detailed explanation about the types of gas canisters available to ensure that someone walking the camino would have the right type of stove to match the available fuel and, if not, what converters would be needed.

The thread is at https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/buying-camper-stove-fuel-on-the-trail.42513/

My best reply is on the same thread here: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...er-stove-fuel-on-the-trail.42513/#post-435047

This time of the year is usually the raining season , I suppose you are aware of that because you are going to need some kind of Goretex boots, jacket , and trousers,or a good poncho .
The temperature usually is not very cold at seaside but could be on mountain !
The albergues would be most of them closed,( but you can go to other pension ,hostal or similar. The north is very beautiful with many villages an cities worth seeing,( specially on Basque Country,Cantabria and Asturias).
Food is also very good quality.
Don't miss Donosti( San Sebastián),especially the old part with many tavern , good for pintxos or tapas!
Enjoy and Buen Camino!

Pd . You will meet very few pilgrims,( because this route is more used in summer time!
