- Frances (July 2016), Primitivo (July 2018), Portuguese (March 2019)
hi, I'd appreciate some advice from anyone currently on either the Camino Frances or the del Norte. My wife and I are due to start walking on the 6th July. We're flying in to Biarritz and could either go to Irun or SJPDP to start our walk. From what we're seeing on the forums we're worried that accommodation is going to be a real problem on the Camino Frances but it seems that the infrastructure on the del Norte is also finding it difficult to cope. We're both 60 but pretty fit and healthy so aren't overly concerned by what appears to be the slightly more difficult terrain on the del Norte. Someone mentioned that the Camino Frances was becoming a procession rather than a walk on the latter stages. Is it really that bad? We enjoy company but sharing 30km each day with 1000+ other pilgrims is a little daunting. We'd very much appreciate any advice and suggestions on routes before we leave the uk on the 5th.
Buen Camino
