Hi everyone
I have got about a week free at the end of July and thinking about spending it on the Norte having previously walked the Frances and Primitivo pre-Covid. While I'd love to do the Irun to Bilbao stretch, I think we'll have to rule it out as iit seems like accommodation will be very sparse and expensive on that section. Is it likely to be better after Santander? Are we likely to be able to turn up and find albergue beds in the 10-15 euro range on this stretch like I have on previous camino? Or will we likely have to be booking private albergues or guest houses on this stretch too? Could also consider from Gijon/Aviles if that is likely to be better and still attractive walking? These are the places I can find cheap flights to at short notice so main options for starting points!
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
