What routes do you suggest to do the Camino del Norte in 7 days? The camino doesn't have to end in Santiago.
 
Ideal pocket guides for during and after your Camino. Each weighs just 40g (1.4 oz).
With 7 days, I would start in Irun (or nearby Hondarribia) and walk to Bilbao. This section is challenging, with some beautiful coastal scenery and includes the wonderful towns of San Sebastián and Bilbao.

You’ll find distances, elevations and accommodation options on Gronze. 😎

100% agree!
 
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.

Can you still get the Compostela by doing this route?

If you mean the section recommended above, NO.

You can only get a Compostela for walking the last 100km of any recognised route into Santiago.

It doesn’t matter how many kms you’ve walked up until that point - if you don’t walk the last 100km, and collect a minimum of two stamps a day - no Compostela.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
If you mean the section recommended above, NO.

Thank you.
