Hi there! I am currently on the Camino del Norte route, travelling to Luarca tomorrow. Was wondering, as I completed the Camino Primitivo last year, would it be a better option to walk until Ribadeo then bus to A Coruna or el Ferrol and finish on the Camino Ingles. Just wondering.
Thanking you for your suggestions in anticipation.

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
My vote is for finishing the Norte, Margaret. Lots to like still in front of you there, with highlights like Mondoñedo and Sobrado dos Monxes. The overlap with the Francés is even shorter than the Primitivo's. The Inglés is a nice walk, but I wouldn't consider it demonstrably "better" than this part of the Norte.

You can walk from Ribadeo to the Inglés following the Ruta do Mar (see that area of the forum for more info about it).

If you are interested in a Compostela, be aware that A Coruña is less than 100 kms away from Santiago de Compostela.
 
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.

Hi Dave, how are you? I'm in Luarca tonight and finding it very interesting and keep thinking about the uphill hike in the morning
Thank you for your speedy reply, you've talked me into it! Yes, now I think of it, it would be a shame to have the Norte incomplete, I'd probably want to return and do the bit I didn't do. Thank you once again

please could anyone advise the current status of accomodation in albergues et al. We (couple) are starting on Wednesday next week. Thanks
An article on the El Correo website reporting on very high occupancy rates at the albergue in Markina on the Camino del Norte. Full almost daily...
Hello everyone, I will have to work digitally about every other day from Irun to SdC (bringing an iPad). What are the wifi connections like along the entire route? What about the Primitivo? Thanks.
I’m travelling to Irún today to start my Camino tomorrow morning - I’m flying to Biarritz getting in at 4pm, planning on catching the bus to Hendaye and walking to the pilgrims hostel from there...
