hello :) this will be my second time in the camino :) i can't wait!

i did 500km of the camino frances the last time, and i would like to try a different route now. thinking of the camino norte, but not sure if it is the best as i only have 15-20 days

thinking of starting on the first week of august and i'd prefer a less busy route.

what do you suggest?

thank you !! gracias !! buen camino !!

You can start the Norte in various places convenient to your arrival point. One other option would be to start on the Norte and move onto the Primitivo. Either way you could decide where to start by working the number of walking days backwards from Santiago.

Buen Camino
 
I am recently back from walking the Camino Norte, starting on May 15th. despite terrible weather and masses of mud, it was a fantastic experience. You could walk almost any part of it and have a great time. I would suggest starting in Irun, and walking as far as is realistic in the 15 to 20 days, then at some point in the future, starting where you finished this time and making it to Santiago. If you want suggestions and a more detailed breakdown, contact me directly and I'll be happy to make some suggestions.
