I walked the Norte in April, May 2022 and found the route well marked for most of the way. I used a lot of the GR variants to stay close to the coast wherever possible and so I had to look out for their signs as well as the camino markers. I did...
Hi fellow pilgrims! I'm planning on walking the Norte with my wife and one of my daughters next June. I'm hoping to take many of the coastal variants. I'm curious which apps are good at showing the different variants. Thanks for any help!

With the constant bombarding of negative news it is refreshing to hear and read about random acts of kindness. Thank you for starting the thread 🙏🏼.

Sorry, no.
What in the world is wrong with people telling stories about how kind we humans can be? Virtue signaling? Hardly. Merely people's genuine experience.
(You needn't read the thread if it annoys you.)
Nope. I'm going to gleefully annoy...
If you want to avoid tales of kindness here, it isn't hard to. The thread isn't exactly hiding what it is. It's right there in the title. Just skip by and don't open it. If others want to share stories of kindness they've received on the Camino...
