Maybe not a Compostela but they surely qualify for a Limonada Casera or two!There is a nod to the Primitivo with a start in Salas later in the week and the Invierno with a finish in Montforte De Lemos.
It is not clear if they will qualify for a Compostela after they ride from Padron to the the cathedral on Sunday!
Hey Kanga, I'm about to start in Irun in 2 days, the weather shows rain and thunder... is that your experience? does it rain all day or just in little increments? I'm feeling scared about the rain, would love your advice! I have the option to walk a different part of the camino if you think the rain is too much. thank you!Tonight all along the Camino del Norte. Today’s stage started at Laredo, through Santoña and Nona, now headed towards Santillana del Mar. Tomorrow they are headed into the Picos. Beautiful pictures
Welcome to the forum Jo. The Norte is green, beautiful, and yes, it rains. I think on my Norte Camino it started raining in Bilbao and continued for days. After that the weather cleared up and was glorious for weeks. So you can never tell. I would not have missed it for the world. But I do think that for a first camino my preference is always the Camino Francés, not the Norte. Certainly there is less chance of rain on the Francés - at least until Galicia (it always rains in Galicia!), but no guarantees. The weather is always changeable.Hey Kanga, I'm about to start in Irun in 2 days, the weather shows rain and thunder... is that your experience? does it rain all day or just in little increments?

Thank you for your feedback! It could still be beatuiful, but maybe depressingThe only time I walked the Norte was in June. It rained and sleeted for days, so I quit and took a train from Santander to Fromista and walked along the Canal de Castille to Valladolid, then picked up the Camino Madrid. I hate walking in the rain and the quote I always hear from my friends in Biarritz is, "Why do you think the Basque Country is so green?" September can be lovely or very wet, the major storms that happen in the US cross the Atlantic in few days and get jammed into the Bay of Vizkaya.
We did Norte in 2019 started Sept 5. We had a bit of rain the first few days but after that the weather was good until the last week. Obviously every year is different but the Norte route was spectacular even in the rain. Just bring rain gear and enjoy.Hey Kanga, I'm about to start in Irun in 2 days, the weather shows rain and thunder... is that your experience? does it rain all day or just in little increments?

Well, only if they don’t take their bikes on public transport or taxiThere is a nod to the Primitivo with a start in Salas later in the week and the Invierno with a finish in Montforte De Lemos.

Yes, I agree, the last week has been magnificent, and lots of traverses of Camino's I have walked, the Norte, the Primitivo, the Portuguese, the Sanabrés. I've absolutely loved it.Thoroughly enjoyed watching stage 20 of the Vuelta last night. Wonderful visuals of the coast fom A Guarda, Oia and beautiful Baiona. Memories of our Portugues camino, coastal route in 2019. We had a rest day in Baiona, the scenery was stunning. Tonight's final stage of the bike race, is a time trial from Padron to Santiago, finishing at the magnificent Cathedral...how apt. Ah, one day again soon, we live in hope.
Sounds a bit fishy to me.Who would have thought I’d learn something about Santiago de Compostela by watching a bike race? Just heard a “fun fact” that the building San Martin Pinario was bought by the monks for an annual payment of a basket full of trout! Is that true?
