we are getting to that exciting part of the early year where we are starting to make our plans for our summer Camino.
We plan on walking from July 1st onwards.
I'm hoping to fly into Bilbao at 16.25 afternoon on a Friday.
I think the start of the del Norte is Irun, but I'm sure that's up for discussion. Does anyone have any idea how pilgrims get from Bilbao airport to Irun or the start of the del Norte? Would I be able to get there and get into an albergues for that night?
Will a cottton sleeping bag liner suffice like my last summer Caminos?
Is there a good online guide or a guide I can purchase in English?
We are hoping to cross onto the primitivo after Oviedo and complete that too.
Are there enough albergues along the way in the del Norte? ( and have they managed to avoid the beg bug issues of the cf?)
Any advice is most welcome everybody. Thanks for taking the time to answer if you do.

I walked the Norte/Primitivo combo and used Dave Whitson's guidebook "The Northern Caminos". It took awhile to adjust to his maps after Brierleys, but it worked out fine.we are getting to that exciting part of the early year where we are starting to make our plans for our summer Camino.

What a brilliant idea! The Norte takes you past stunning beaches, which should add to the carrots. As for which section would be best, I will look up my diaries and find a few names of places where I recall walking on or beside beaches. But doing the research and making a decision is part of the adventure! I'll be back!Hi we are also planning our trip this time doing part of the camino Norte with 3 kids 15,12 and 10 in july. Which is the best section to do. We can probably persuade the kids to walk for a week with the carrot of a weeks relaxation at the end. It would need to be west of Bilbao. Any recommendations as to which is the best section to do please? Thanks
You can start from anywhere! Bilbao would be as good as anywhere. There is a famous 'transporter bridge' at Portugalete, at the mouth of the inlet that Bilbao lies beside. Crossing on it would be a memorable beginning. There are albergues and cheapie hotels in aplenty on Bilbao.I think the start of the del Norte is Irun, but I'm sure that's up for discussion.

I think including Santander would work well with kids--some wonderful parks and if there is a festival going on, you'll definitely enjoy it.Hi we are also planning our trip this time doing part of the camino Norte with 3 kids 15,12 and 10 in july.
