You will love the Norte. I love New Orleans. Also make sure you get some ice cream here when you arrive in San Sebastian:

Gelateria Boulevard Alameda del Blvd., 10, San Sebastián,​

there are two locations on the same street. You will not regret it I promise you.

Hi, I'll be starting my first Camino just a day behind you. Maybe we'll meet somewhere on the way. Take care!

Buen Camino. I will be starting my first Camino in SJPP on 31st March, just a few days to go 23 days to go until I start my travel from the USA. I'm very excited to finally be doing this. All the very best

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.
