Continuting my Camino del Norte

[Axxxx7]

Hi everyone,

For a couple weeks ago, I walked a part of Camino del Norte, from Bilbao to Santander. I arrived to Bilbao with no expectations, and ended up loving it so much. It cleared my head after a long time with stress and thing in private life. Now, I plan to go back to Santander, and continue where I left off. I wont have the time to walk to the Compostella, but I plan to at least walk to Gijon or Ovieda, depending on which way I will choose - Norte or Primitivo.

The lovely people I met on my way, will not be there anymore, and this time, I will continue alone. Do you think it will be an issue meeting people on the way for some social interaction? The people played a big role for my experiences on the Camino. Im planning to go back in the middle of July

Thank you

Just as you met people between Bilbao and Santander you should have no problem meeting other pilgrims after Santander.

I just did that exact walk - alone. I met fewer people than I expected, but could not have loved the walk more. Please look at the coastal option out of Santander! It was the best part for me. Not marked and difficult to find at times, but so worth it. I used these maps as guides:
