Hello
I will start the El Norte at the end of september, I got a lot of informations in this forum abd I have the Wise P app. and I am wondering if a paper guide is necessary and if yes, would the Wise Pilgrim paper be a good choice.

I do not think you need a paper guide
 
I used the Wise Pilgrim both paper and digital. It is a great tool.
 
St James' Way - Self-guided 4-7 day Walking Packages, Reading to Southampton, 110 kms
We used the Camino Places app. A great gps app.
 
I would carry both app and paper. Devices can and will fail. One trip, my phone was dead for three days. When the battery was finally down to zero, then a recharge brought it back to life. Another trip I was using the Whitson Northern Caminos guidebook, and lost the book. Luckily, had the Kindle version on my phone.
 
Thanks I will order the paper guide today, it will also be part of the pleasure of the preparation.

I used Dave Whitsen's book along with wise pilgrim, and other digital sources but found the website gronze.com to be my go to.

Last May I walked the first part of the Norte in the opposite direction, from Santander to Irun. Since I only had two weeks and couldn't reach Santiago anyway, I wanted to swim against the tide...
Tomorrow I fly to Bilbao to start my 5th stint on the Camino. I did the Frances in three parts (2016, 2017 and 2022). Last year I did the Portuguese from Porto. I did the first 200 km of the...
I thought I had this all figured out, but I have ended up with 2 train tickets from San Sebastian (I don't even know if it's the airport or the town) to Irun, instead of ONE that goes all the way...
