Time of past OR future Camino
Past: Portugues
Planned: del Norte, Primitivo
Hi, I started planning process for my Camino del Norte which I want to walk next year May/June. Camino Lebaniego looks really attractive to me - I love mountains but I don't want to resign from an ocean views of Del Norte. Do you have any recommendations how to smartly combine Camino Del Norte and Lebaniego. Is there aby chance that I can come back to del Norte from Santo Toribio de Lebana different route than official Camino? Thanks in advance for support <3
 
Let us pick up your suitcase once you arrive in Europe....
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
Pilgrims I met this week were going to go back from Potes to the Norte. Though they were conflicted due to the beauty of the Mountains. I too love the Coast. But am in the Picos. ️

Thanks @unadara Looks that I'm not the only one with the same issue . How is that experience for you there? I find a map (link below) with alternative via Las Arenas and I'm wondering if it make sense to consider it.

Have you thought about continuing onto the Vadiniense and then back up the San Salvador to the Primitivo or Norte? You'd do one small stage on the French to Leon and then onto the Salvador from there. It's a really great challenge but if you've done the Norte from Irun you've already put in some tough climbing.
 
@Tom Conklin thanks for this sugestion it make sense! But I can't recognize this San Salvador on the Map. Could you please help me with that?

The San Salvador Camino is not on the map that you linked to. It is a short route from León to Oviedo. I did it in 5 days, but I would take 6 if I did it again.

El Camino del Salvador o de San Salvador enlaza León con Oviedo, en un recorrido que va de sur a norte cruzando la Cordillera Cantábrica. Esta ruta, montañera y exigente, era ya seguida en la Edad Media por numerosos peregrinos que se desviaban desde el Camino Francés para visitar la catedral de...

  • Thread 'My Caminos Lebaniego and Vadiniense'

    I have just returned from a Camino that included the Camino Lebaniego and Vadiniense. The Lebaniego goes from San Vicente de la Barquera (on the Norte) to Potes (in the Picos de Europa). The Vadiniense starts in Potes and winds up close to Leon. Using Rebekah's guide, I made it without too many difficulties, though I did have an adventure or two. I've sent detailed notes to Reb for her to incorporate into her guide, but I thought I'd post some more general comments and observations here...

  • Thread 'BP on the Vadinense July 2024'

    Day 0: San Vicente de la Barquera This morning I left Aguilar de Campoo (on another Camino) to travel to San Vicente de la Barquera. I will walk the Camino Vadiniense from here to Mansilla de las Mulas. About 8-10 days I think. (Note from the mods: To read about the first part of BP’s 2024 Camino, go here.) Last time I was in San Vicente was 13 years ago on the Camino del Norte. I didn't visit the town then as I didn't stay the night here. So it's a brand new place for me to discover...
