I only have 20 days to do Camino Del Norte, any advice?

Time of past OR future Camino
September 2015
End September - October 2016 (Camino Del Norte)
I did my first camino last year in Sept '15 (Camino Frances) started from Leon. And indeed i feel so blessed to be able to do my camino though only started from Leon.

And there is a feeling deep inside me urging to do another camino, and this time I choose Camino Del Norte. But I found not so much information about this route and need more information as well as the best time to do this camino. My initial plan is to start by End September 2016, unfortunately I do only have 20 days of walking. Any suggestion which city that I have to start? What will be the weather?

Thanks for the advice.
 
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.

I downloaded a mobile app named vojo way. It has also Norte, and seems ok for checking how far to walk in a day. I haven't learned how to use it yet, but initial glance gave a good impression.
 
You could check out the Gronze guide and work backwards from Santiago, at your daily walking distance, to find a starting point.
 
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.

It all depends on how much you want to arrive in Santiago. If you start in Irun you will be able to walk the very beautiful part through Basque country. However, you will not be able to reach Santiago.

I did check vojo way, but the application only for android at this moment. For IOS have to wait for awhile. Hope before my camino, the application for IOS already available. Thanks for the advice.
