I will depart Irun on 6 May and currently plan to walk the Norte to the Primitivo on to SDC… May good fortune and weather accompany you along your journeyHi friends. Anyone have experience with the Norte in May? I’ve done it twice, both Late August/ Sept. Both were fantastic. What is the Norte like in Spring? Already purchased tickets to arrive around 4/20 and leave 6/1. Haven’t decided on a route yet… debating Norte v Norte/Primitivo v tried and true Frances. I don’t like the Vdlp, but it’s been awhile. I like to meet people. Thoughts?
May is an amazing month to walk Camino del Norte! Twice I've started in early May and the weather has been ideal - 50's and 60's with cool evenings have been perfect! By the time I get to SDC it's been beautiful spring-like sunny warm daysIf you're looking for warmer temperatures, then later in May or June might suit you better.
Ultreïa!

50’s and 60’s sounds kinda cold. (If you are an American). I like to lay out on the beaches.May is an amazing month to walk Camino del Norte!

hopefully will be doing this on May 23, but starting in Bilbao
She's right: it is. Of course, as with every seaside, weather can be unpredictable/changeable. 2016 I started the Del Norte early May. Until Galicia only rain on 2 days. Other than that, mostly sunny weather or sunny with clouds. Nice temperatures.May is an amazing month to walk Camino del Norte!
I am an American! I just happen to live in the frozen tundra:50’s and 60’s sounds kinda cold. (If you are an American). I like to lay out on the beaches.
I’m thinking I try and then report back. It’s similar to back home so I can deal.
There is something so fulfilling about walking both the Norte and the Primitivo. Other Caminos have been special and exhilarating, but the Norte and Primitivo keep calling back!Norte! I'm a sucker for the Basque Country. A tragic case. Norte Primitivo is also excellent, I love Roman ruins and the like. I'd decide the Primitivo part en route.
I don't live in the frozen tundra and I also find 50's and 60's pretty perfect for walking.I am an American! I just happen to live in the frozen tundra:where 50's and 60's feel just right when hiking. Perfect temperature! Warmer than that, becomes hot and uncomfortable, but ideal for the beach
Totally agree with you. I'll hike if it's in the high 20's and in the 30's, but there has to be no wind!I don't live in the frozen tundra and I also find 50's and 60's pretty perfect for walking.
Actually, if it's sunny temps in the 40's are also good, and 60's can be too hot!
This is something I’ve never done before. Which is intriguing. Last year (Sept 2021) I remember seeing the turnout for the primitivo while on the Norte and thinking to myself, “should I?” Personal friends have told me that is the way to go, especially after completing the Norte conventional style multiple times. Sounds like a plan but may still be a “game time” decision.There is something so fulfilling about walking both the Norte and the Primitivo.

I walked the Vdlp in fall I think. Few people and no met long term friends, long distances, infrastructure not so convenient. But I loved Salamanca.No wrong choices Damien.
I was only wondering if you had walked the Vdlp in spring? (Before everything has browned up).
My experience of the flowers and landscape was wonderful.
I would imagine (from hearing experiences of others walking August to October), that it is a world away from the spring walk experience.
It’s so hard making that decision …..
…(I know ) as I’m currently going through similar thoughts with working out where to tread my upcoming days available to best suit me and the weather.
Once made…. I’ll feel better too.
Buen camino
Annie.
Edit: sorry I can’t comment on Norte in May as I walked it in sept 2014
That's calling me now. And Le Puy. We'll see.There is something so fulfilling about walking both the Norte and the Primitivo. Other Caminos have been special and exhilarating, but the Norte and Primitivo keep calling back!
You won't have any regrets if you opt to deviate from the CDN onto the Primitivo. It's truly an incredibly beautiful and peaceful route - until it joins the Francés for the last couple of daysThis is something I’ve never done before. Which is intriguing.
