Also you need water on first day out of Irun on Alpinista route but thru San Sebastián to San Martin near Orio there fountains and as you go on to Zarautz Getaria Zumaia there are fountains no need to carry water.Hi today started from San Martin walked to Zarautz around the promenade walk to Getaria then up to Akziz then down to Zumaia checked into Goiko pension .Today nice walk. All Albergues closed or full this is a nice pension.

Although my Camino on the del Norte the way marks have been excellent bar once. I did use the train and local bus to bypass the tiedious road walking but from Ribadeo it has been quiet forest country lanes. Irun to entrance Bilbao great walking.From O Xistral to Baamonde forest walking and country road 33Km long day but Albergue Baamonde great heaters on great showers . Baamonde -1’C in morning no problem heaters on(no blankets here). Just as side note I did not carry a sleeping bag just silk sleeping bag.Baamonde to O Abrigo nice walk well marked all the way.

From Albergue Camino Dos Ocas at Fontelas too Monte de Godos some forest but last 5 Km maybe more road walking MdG great heated €6.Then MdG to Santiago de Compostela Albergue Alda €12 .excellent Albergue with kitchen. From SdC to Negreria Forest walking after 25min leaving Albergue nice walk to Albergue Municipal Negreria €6 heated.Negreria to Santa Marina Albergue Santa Marina €10 good food €10 Pilgrims meal,right on the way on AC 300 close to Monas Bakery .SM to Dumbria Albergue o Conco de Peregrinos€6 heated. AOCdP to Muxia nice walk Albergue Muxia €6 heated kitchen. Well that’s it my Camino if I were you I would do the del Norte now before they pave it all over or footpath it over. Sure you can take the GR tracks but your just doing a scenic walk then. Even the SdC to Muxia is getting progress pushed on to it. I can not stop progress and I do not want people to have to live on muddy tracks or have to drive I’ve potholed roads/lanes. So if you want to walk the way before it’s civilised “do it now”.Sobrado Dos Monxes thru Boimorto and Arzua by 6Km to Albergue Camino Dos Ocas €12 the walk is all road until the last 6Km past Arzua
