Irun to Bilbao in pictures...

This post is aimed at those people who have decided to do the Norte, but for some reason or another are thinking of skipping the week in the Basque country. Pictures speak louder than words. The pictures below (there are quite a few) are a fair reflection of what is to be expected in terms of the views and the surface you'll be walking on. It was the last week in March 2016, which I think is a lovely time to be on Camino.

I hope someone out there doing their research finds this post useful.

I return to Bilbao next Sunday to continue where I left off.... I hope that Cantabria will live up to the beautiful experience I had in the Basque Country......

Thank you Niall, this is very timely for me. I'll be following in your footsteps next month - walking to Bilbao and returning in September to walk some more.

I also plan to walk from Saint Jean to Luz to Hondarribia after arriving in Biarritz. Really looking forward to it!
