I walked in early February ‘23 from south to north and had great weather and a fabulous walk, although the sand can be quite tiring.

Last autumn I walked the Via Baltica from Swinemunde/Swinoujscie (at the very north eastern point of the German- Polish border) to Bremen. This is app. 600 km. Those wishing for a longer walk can of course start walking the Via Baltica in...
Personally I think that the walk to Genoa from Menton was a great walk. It is a mix of walking in the mountains, away from the coast through small villages, walking the coast and walking along the new walk/bike tunnel path, which is placed on the...
In general I found that there was very limited infrastructure whilst walking in France - only in the bigger towns, that were typically at the end of a stage, was it possible to purchase things.

This is a very good point. A lot of the Ruta Cantabrica is pretty exposed, the wind was harsh even on a sunny day. It would be miserable in the cold and rain, verging on unsafe where the trail is exposed. I think your route looks wonderful, but...
Hi @Caminogoat. I walked the Ruta do Mar & Ingles back in 2016. You are welcome to take a look at my blog where I posted every day with elevation profiles, descriptions of the route and accommodation options. There is some useful input in the...
