Hello, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good guidebook for the El Camino del Norte? Many thanks and happy trails...
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

The Confraternity of St James publish a two volumn guide to the Norte. I used the first of them this year but didn't need the second one as I continued on on the Primitivo.
If you'd like them, for free, PM me with contact details. This doesn't need to include your address. A PO for poste restante should get them to you
 
If I were you, I would hang on till either Dave or WisePilgrim come out with their guidebooks. For Dave, it will be a totally revamped edition of Northern Caminos. This book was expected to publish prior to this year's major walking season. I was hoping to use it, but it never came out. There must be some significant issues causing the delay. Wise Pilgrim is working on a new Norte guidebook, which Ivar's store has available for pre-order. Delivery expected in early October. He already has apps for many caminos, and he has paper guidebooks for both the Portugues and the Frances, so this will be his third.

Both guides are available from Ivar in fact: https://www.santiagodecompostela.me/collections/camino-del-norte-items
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
I have ordered the guides on Ivar's website, and while waiting for them, I have been using the Buen Camino app which has offline maps and downloaded info.

Hello Stephen, Thank you that is very kind. However, I have decided to buy the new Wise Pilgrim guide. Many thanks

I use Alltrails a lot here in the US, in Iceland, on the Via Podiensis and a bit on the CF. Will it be useful on the Norte? For example, people here say the "warm up" from Biarritz to Irun (or...
Last May I walked the first part of the Norte in the opposite direction, from Santander to Irun. Since I only had two weeks and couldn't reach Santiago anyway, I wanted to swim against the tide...
Tomorrow I fly to Bilbao to start my 5th stint on the Camino. I did the Frances in three parts (2016, 2017 and 2022). Last year I did the Portuguese from Porto. I did the first 200 km of the...
I thought I had this all figured out, but I have ended up with 2 train tickets from San Sebastian (I don't even know if it's the airport or the town) to Irun, instead of ONE that goes all the way...
Hi! I’m a Camino newbie planning on walking Camino del Norte this May-June. I have previous hiking experience and do well on longer distances and so on, but not any super recent multi day long...
I’m on day 2 of the CDN and I’m just blown away by the views. Day 1 Irun to San Sebastián, day 2 San Sebastián to Askizu Buen Camino
