Looks to me like you walked the Ruta del Flysch from Zumaia, is that right?
Keep posting.
Buen camino.
I just had short time to visit it as I was there at 18:30, 30 minutes before it closed. I had visited Gernika some years ago as I lived 6 month in Bilbao for work.If you were stuck in Gernika, I hope you got to visit the Peace Museum and see the Picasso mural. That town has a very sad history but survived.
I’d would have loved to find some place to stay in Las Arena or in Pobena. But the albergue is said to be closed until may.
If somebody has an idea, just let me know.
Thanks
This would be great. I will calculate and see if I can do it. But first I will feel my legs tomorrow morning. If they feel OK I am happy to give it a try. Thanks a lotThe albergue in Onton should be open, although it would be a very long day, even you walked to Portugalete via the river (about 31km in total).
As I was stuck in Gernika for half a day as the Albergue in Eskerika is still closed until 28/03, I took time to upload a small video to Youtube.
Here another small info about the Camino so far: The bridge in Deba is still closed. A detour has to be taken into accout. I think its about 1,5 km that have to be added to the day. And just a bit later a detour has to be made in the woods. But here I think that not too much is added to the way, but there is some more altitude to master.
So, here is the video:
the video from about 2 minutes 10 seconds till about 3 minutes is beautiful, that is NOT on the camino
Is that the path that goes up from Oriñon and Playa de Sonabria over Monte Candina?
We decided not to do it, as my wife considered it too dangerous.
We walked on the other side of Monte Candina, joining up with the path down along the coast just before Ermita de San Julián.
Buen Camino
I am happy to hear about your strip. I completed Camino France last year in August, and going back to do the Norte at the end of April. Did you get rained a lot? I don't mind rain but am afraid of lightnings. I had a few of those last year and I would not want encounter them again.
Hello Mera,
I was lucky and had only one day of rain in three weeks. But the weather in the north can be unpredictable sometimes. I worked here for several month and it rains more often than in the rest of Spain. But that makes the nature so rich and beautiful. You may also encounter thunderstorms. I remember those happening sometimes by the end of the day, on very hot summer days. This was refreshing cool. But I speak from 15 years ago. I cannot speak from nowadays. The only thing that is sure is that you might certainly have more rain than on the Camino Frances.
As I said, I was very lucky to have had only one day of rain in three weeks.
I wish you a Buen Camino! Watch for all possible alternatives. On dry and sunny days alternative trails along the sea are the better option. When it rains or has rained the day before, asphalt might be a better choice than mud. The Wise Pilgrim App « Camino Places » and Laurie (Peregrina2000) here in the forum have them listed.
