Hi everyone
Last year I walked a part of the Portuguse route from Porto to Tui in 4 days, which I really enjoyed . This year I would like to walk a part of the Northern Route and I have in total 6-7 days including transfer. I have previous walked from Leon to Santiago, so I do no need to go to Santiago if anyone has a better suggestion.
I'm thinking that 25k-30k would be ok per day... Hope for any suggestions
Anne

Past week i walked Donosti to Bilbao. Some people told me that the previous week was holiday in France so many french made this route.

I didn't find any crowd at all. I slept in Deba, Mendata and Bilbao. We were 36 pilgrims at Deba's albergue, 1 at Mendata's and 11 at Bilbao's albergue.

It's a beautiful route (Donejakue bidea) but some hard, due to the mountains. I think i walked 129kms, perfect amount for your 6 days, in my opinion.
