Quick post from Hondarribias. Woke up in Irun to snow -3C, plan was to sleep 15 min below the Santuary of Guadalupe (Casa Rural Postigu **** very nice). Walked in the Camino route to Hondarribias a beautiful fortified harbour town very worthwhile seeing. Weather improving but no other pilgrims. Not sure if I’ll walk the Ridge variant vs south side official route to San Sebastián tomorrow.

Hondarribias is lovely...! The next hill is sacred to the Basques (Mont Jezkibel) and awesome views - but - do what's best in the weather there....Make sure you try the Txakoli wine - lush! Buen Camino!

oh - Kaixo (keysho) is hello/ agur is goodbye/ eskerrik asko is thank you/ mesedes is please
in Basque!
A little goes a long way - the Basque people really appreciate you using the odd word in Basque!

Stay warm and enjoy. Late August we’re planning to stay in Irun and bus to Hondarribias then walk back to Irun as our intro to the Norte before we head off properly. Does that seem doable? How far is it? Any advice much appreciated.?

If you pass by Ribadesella before the 20th and feel like a chat with another Camino addict, let me know. I am living here for a couple of months as of today (but will be away between the 21st and the 28th). Can't offer you a bed, but maybe a couch, a hot shower, a vegetarian meal and oatmeal porridge for breakfast will do?

I started a conversation with you. I guess that is the same as sending a PM?
