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

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.

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.

So happy to hear that!
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
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.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!

I don't remember many mosquitos. They were probably all knocked down out of the sky by heavy rain. Buen Camino
