    Primitivo in late october-early november?

    I'm also curious about this. Did you hear anything more? I would be tempted to do the Portuguese as it's a similar time frame.

    Camino Portugués - lessons learned

    Is the Central busier and better-served? More pilgrims and more sociable?

    What do you look for in a second Camino?

    Very cool, thanks. I met someone recently who does one or two Caminos every year. She mainly does the Francés because it's the "classic"

    What do you look for in a second Camino?

    Thanks, they made for very interesting reading. I'm not sure I'll even be able to do a Camino any time soon but mainly curious

    What do you look for in a second Camino?

    Like many others, I did the Camino Francés and it was a life-defining experience. I still spend a great deal of time reading and thinking about Caminos, and dreaming of the next one. I'm curious. What do you look for in a second Camino? Are you looking for an entirely new adventure, looking to...

    Camino Del Norte - San Sebastian to Bilbao

    Just did this the other week. You don't have to be super, marathon-running fit or anything but it was quite a lot tougher than the Camino Francés, which is mainly flat, and you can't cover the same daily distances. Was quite surprised how difficult a problem accommodation was but we always left...

    Accommodation June 2024; need to pre-book?

    Hello everyone. I know that pre-booking accommodation has been discussed many, many times, so apologies but I wanted to be quite specific. We are walking from Irún to Bilbao in the first week of June 2024 so no holidays to avoid and hopefully not quite peak season but could still be busy. I have...

    Irún to Bilbao. How many walking days? Any unmissable experiences?

    Kaixo! I walked the Camino Francés a couple of years ago and had the time of my life. I have finally found time to return to the Camino, or at least a section of it, and decided to walk from Irún to Bilbao in June with some friends. I gather that this is one of the most spectacular weeks on any...

    Second Camino Left me feeling Unfulfilled

    I've only done one Camino but it's never been far from my mind. Thank you for sharing your experience.

    Best shoes for Irún to Bilbao stretch; trail runners or walking boots?

    Apologies firstly because I know how much this debate comes up and I am certainly a trail runners advocate. However, I understand that Irún to Bilbao is one of the most physically demanding sections of any Camino route, with mud often being an obstacle. Planning on walking from Irún to Bilbao in...

    Just how difficult is the Camino Norte ?

    Specifically, the first week from Irún to Bilbao is the toughest, right?

    Best book for my friends who aren't familiar with the Camino?

    Hi all. It's my chance to pick for a Book Club with my friends next month. As it will mark a year since I did my first Camino, I am thinking about nominating a Camino memoir. Can anyone recommend one that would be appropriate for my friends who are largely uninformed about what the Camino is...

    St James Way: Reading to Southampton

    I just finished yesterday this Way of St James / Camino Inglés, Reading to Southampton, so I thought I'd jump on this thread. Personally I had a great time re-living some of my Camino closer to home. However, I was lucky to have accommodation nearby and we stayed in Winchester one night. I...

    St James Way: Reading to Southampton

    Thank you for your warning @Trishb . You were very fair in your judgement. I'll be walking this route over the bank holiday weekend and relieved to have accommodation locally.

    Irún to Bilbao in March or October or wait for another window?

    Maybe you're right and I'm paying too much heed to online comments. Still, I would be interested to hear from others about whether they would have rather waited to do this stretch during the traditional season or just go with what I have.
