Thx

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
When I walked the Norte I chose to stay at Captin Txmista, a private albergue located 4km outside of Irun on the Camino route. This made the first day to San Sebastian easier.

Buen camino.

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.

I stayed in the pilgrims hostel in Irun, and then went only as far as Passajes on day one.

From what another couple told me, they would often pitch a tent on the albergue grounds or church grounds, and use the albergue facilities either for free or for a few euros. This won't likely work in San Sebastian and some of the other major cities/busy pilgrim hubs, but they were pretty successful otherwise.

I use Alltrails a lot here in the US, in Iceland, on the Via Podiensis and a bit on the CF. Will it be useful on the Norte? For example, people here say the "warm up" from Biarritz to Irun (or...
