No, this is the last part of the Norte.What a bad luck. Is this also between Irun and Bilbao?
Aviles is way past Bilbao. It is just past Gijon.What a bad luck. Is this also between Irun and Bilbao?
Hi, are you using Gronze?Is anyone else having trouble finding accommodation past Aviles? I’m walking now and the bed race can rival the Frances. Looking for something, anything for tomorrow night past Muros de Nalon and can’t find anything within 75km. Any help/advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
Yes, thank you. We are in Pension Pozo tonight. Having trouble past tonight though. Yes, I am a Gronze veteran. One of the reasons I’m a bit shocked at the lack of availability…I know a lot of the tricks and resources! This is my 4th Camino, and the second on the Norte!Hi, are you using Gronze?

Yes, I do. But even hotel/hostel/pension/(private) Albergue owners are shocked at the volume right now.You probably know then that August is the busiest month on the Norte!

This is a nice place in the beautiful seaside town of Cudillero just off the Norte. I stayed there in May this year. It's about 5km after Muros and because it is a detour of 1 or 2 km off the camino there may be less demandIs anyone else having trouble finding accommodation past Aviles?

Doubt it, a long way from Bilbao. That said, festivities in Bilbao atm.What a bad luck. Is this also between Irun and Bilbao?
I start the Norte on Sept 3. I hope the crowds lighten up by mid-month.Yes, thank you. We are in Pension Pozo tonight. Having trouble past tonight though. Yes, I am a Gronze veteran.

Me too! We are on our way from Ribadeo to Lourenza. And while it’s been a bit easier since my original post, the demand is still very high. We were turned away from La Caridad and had to take a taxi back to Navia to stay the night. Then had to taxi back the next morning to start walking to Ribadeo. I’m sure the crowd (especially the Spanish vacationers) will subside by the time you start and only get thinner as you progress. Good luck to you and Buen Camino!I start the Norte on Sept 3. I hope the crowds lighten up by mid-month.
Summer holidays 2023 for the Spaniards: 11 weeks between the end of June and the middle of September.Me too! We are on our way from Ribadeo to Lourenza.

I did Camino del Norte and started in Llanes started to walk on May 8th., and had no problem finding places. Yes made a few reservations but usually the day before. Mind you a cheaper fare in early May is the only reason went in May.Is anyone else having trouble finding accommodation past Aviles? I’m walking now and the bed race can rival the Frances.

Finding accommodation on the Norte is much different in May than in July and August! I've walked it in the past in July, and this year in May/June, and there was a big difference in the number of pilgrims.I did Camino del Norte and started in Llanes started to walk on May 8th., and had no problem finding places. Yes made a few reservations but usually the day before. Mind you a cheaper fare in early May is the only reason went in May.
I would think that with the tourist season waning that you shouldn't need to reserve at the end of September. I would reserve a place in Santander though.I've just booked flights starting from Santander on the 20 September. Would the advice be to book ahead. Don't really want to but is it necessary?
