Hi all, leaving for Irun on the 22 August and wondering if anyone out there can tell me what the mosquito situation is like on the northern route? Many thanks!

Mosquitoes love me too, but I don't remember encountering any on the Norte.

Mosquitoes have never been a problem (for me) on any of the routes...as far as I can recall.

The primitivo and VdlP both had some serious little fly problems in places. Of course, that could have just been a time of the year.

Yay; such good news!
 
I just returned home from the Norte and the mosquitoes were no problem whatsoever.
Enjoy!

I left Irun 2 weeks ago. Be prepared for everything. My first day from Irun I got bitten by a spider that crawled up my leg and I got an infection. There were also other bugs that bit up my legs. No mosquitoes though. My boyfriend was left untouched.
 
I've had a nasty ant bite, and bedbug bites. No mosquito bites.
