Hi Kevin thanks for your replyHola Beto, I was going to do it in April, but now must postpone until Aug. or Sept.
I have a Cicerone Guide to the Northern Camino. It looks like it could be tougher as you are decending to the beaches and then climbing away from them. I did the Frances route last year and enjoyed it. This looks similiar in distance, but may be a little more challenging! Are you from Mexico Beto?

Hi thank you for sharing your walk hope you got a good rest for tomorrow and looks like very nice weather are staying in hostels or shelters? Have a Buen CaminoI just finished day 2 of El Norte from San Sebastián to Zarautz. Demanding 25k different than Day 1 but still a knee killer. Lucky weather 18C and sun feels like spring. Wise pilgrim guide 2017 edition is EXCELLENT and accurate. Tomorrow to Deba.
I read with interest this thread as I am hoping to walk the Norte starting around September 14. Last year I met a man about my age (I will be 64 in 2 weeks) who said it was not that hard. The toughest part is the first 7 - 10 days. I also have a felling that Kanga’s description will work for me. I hope everyone reads this because I was just wondering if the other contributors were first time Pilgrims. I ask this because after 3 Caminos and walking about 3000k total. I know my first Camino was physically the toughest. I am training a little less and knowing my body a lot more. And I am not getting any younger, unfortunately! Have other Pilgrims found my experience to be simioto theirs? Or maybe it is another one of my many theories that are soon to bite the dust!
Enjoy every stepThe Norte was my first Camino and I was 60 when I did it. I don't think I'd say, "not that hard" unless I knew what they were comparing it to. The first several days are challenging but certainly achievable. It's a walk I would most definitely do again. I will walk the Portuguese Camino (Coastal) later this year. I am anticipating it to be easier solely on the fact that the elevation changes are not as great.

I did the coastal Portuguese in 2016 and found it incredibly beautiful and peaceful. Far less crowded than the Frances and without all the pilgrim litter, graffiti, and toilet paper. I used the Bierley guide and the track-maps posted on the forum resources. Take the time to include the Variante Espiritual, you won't regret it. I'm starting the Norte in Sept and will be using the coastal and off road GR options as much as possible along with advice you and others have posted.

It looks like a long stage according to Wise Pilgrim 27.4k but there looks to be a couple of places to bail out if need be.Hi. Can anyone tell me about the stage from Ribadeo to Lourenza and any variations as I will be walking alone? . Friends arriving the next day
Hello as Gaillimh..when in April? I start from San Sebastian on the 15th. It would be nice to have a past master to tap for wisdom.You will have plenty of company in September. I walked from Irún to Santiago 2 times and starting again in April 2018 you will love the adventure
