Looking for company to walk the el Norte in May/June

David1991 · Apr 15, 2015

Hi,

My name is David and I'm 24. I'm looking for company to walk the el Norte in May/June. I'm starting in Irun.
Is there anyone out there who's planning on doing the same thing and is also looking for some company?

Hola and welcome to the forum

Have a look at the forum calendar and sign in yourself, to see if you can pre arrange a group. It is at the top of the screen.
Else, you are certain to meet people on route to walk with and share your experiences.
Do remember a pair of swimming shorts as the ocean will be very tempting during your walk

Buen Camino

David:

You will quickly find walking company along the Norte. Most likely in the Albergue in Irun.

Enjoy the walk and the beautiful coastal towns and Ocean views of Northern Spain.

Hey David! For sure you will find friends along the way....the way provides you always with what you need...you will see! I will walk the north way but I will start in Bilbao on the 19/6 so I think you will be ahead of me!
Buen Camino!!!!!

Have you posted in the Camino calendar. You can also check who is starting on a particular date.

David1991 · Apr 16, 2015

Hey all! Thank's for the advise and nice reactions. I've been to the northern coast of Spain a couple of times now, so know it's beautiful over there. I actually started by bicycling the del Norte from Paris but my bike got stolen half way.., so I had to go back home. Luckily I'am a stubborn guy and still have got all my stuff, except the bike off course, so now I'm going on by foot. I might be even better this way since I won't have to look out for my bike anymore
I'm taking all of you're advice, putting a starting date on the calendar, taking my swimming shorts with me and will probably just start walking.
To Angeliki Louk: I don't think we're going to meet each other, even tough I'm planning on doing it with a relaxed state of mind But who knows!

One more thing, what would you do? Going with a tent in the backpack, or rely on albergue's?

There is plenty of accommodation on the Norte. The most I paid was Hotel Marino (30 euro) in El Rellayo with a full breakfast. I just liked the setting and decided to stay after stopping for an afternoon break. Everything else was between donotivo and 20 euro. I would not take a tent because that equates to additional weight, imo. That said, some folks enjoy sleeping out.

Ultreya,
Joe

Albergues!

Albergues it is than!! What a wonderful forum with wonderful people. Everyone is so easy and clear when giving answers.

I use Alltrails a lot here in the US, in Iceland, on the Via Podiensis and a bit on the CF. Will it be useful on the Norte? For example, people here say the "warm up" from Biarritz to Irun (or...

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...

Are supermercados or other grocery stores open on Sundays on del Norte? Are restaurants open? Specifically, I will likely find myself in these towns on Sundays: Castro-Urdiales, Comillas...

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...

I’m on day 2 of the CDN and I’m just blown away by the views. Day 1 Irun to San Sebastián, day 2 San Sebastián to Askizu Buen Camino
