I'm hiking the camino del Norte, because of my schedule, i have 5 days that i need to hike before starting in irun where I'm meeting family. I thought i could hike from sjpdp to irun, but i don't see a trail. Then i was planning to walk from jaca to somport and take a bus to irun, but I'll be walking backwards. I really want to hike in the pyrenees, but i dont see any parts of caminos that would take me through the pyrenees to irun. I'm flying into barcelona and am on a really tight budget. I need some suggestions, I'll be walking alone during this time...
 
The 9th edition the Lightfoot Guide will let you complete the journey your way.
The below link might be of some help. I walked the Norte in June and then walked the Vezelay trail in July ending in SJPDP. I had thought of continuing on by foot back to Irun but decided I had walked enough :) So I had asked around and the GR 10 or the lower route was recommended a route from SJPDP to Irun.

Hope this is of some help. If you do walk this route please let me know what the route is like.
Buen Camino!

Thanks so much, that really helps! I will probably go with the southern foothill route from Roncevilles to Irun. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Have a great Camino! Look forward to hearing about your adventure fromSJPDP to Irun.

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...
