Hi, I don't remember so much asphalt walking... certainly not as much as on the Norte. This is a good thread on the subject- www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/pavement-on-via-de-la-plata.42884/

Nice overview. How many days did it take you to walk?
@colesushiАй бұрын
About 5 weeks give or take. My approach is not to try and be at a particular place by a set date. Rather, take it easy, smell the roses and if you don't make it to Santiago, come back again and pick up where you left off! Buen Camino!

This is so interesting. Really enjoyed your video on the Primitivo. Would you recommend rather starting at "Del Norte" and then change onto the Primitivo or would you say staying on the del Norte all the way is nicer?
@colesushiАй бұрын
I think most people swap from the del norte to the Primitivo because after a few weeks of sea, they feel it's time for some mountains... But if I knew I had time to come back and do the Primitivo at a later date, I'd stick on the del norte, for the sake of completeness. Also, it's nice that it's less busy after Gijon on the del Norte

Really interesting and well done. Thanks for putting this together. If you ever feel like expanding the routes you cover, I walked the Via Serrana from La Línea de la Concepción to Sevilla to link up with the Via de la Plata last fall, a wonderful 10-day trek, and plan to walk the six-day Camino de Uclés next Spring from Uclés to Madrid before commencing the Camino de Madrid. Certainly the Via Serrana deserves more attention that it has received so far.

I talked my sister into doing the Camino del Norte because I wanted to walk along the sea, “it is always about the sea.” So true. We start Aug 22 in Irun and I am giving us 44 days to get to Santiago. If you had to pick a city to stay a day or two in along the route, which would you choose and why?
@colesushi2 ай бұрын
SO many great cities. But if I had to choose one, then San Sebastien because of the food scene. The Guggenheim also makes Bilbao a highly attractive stop off..

thank you, that is very concise and full of very useful information. If I travel in June does that mean I have to book private hotels (more expensive?) as the albergues will be still closed?
@colesushi2 ай бұрын
Sorry if I said something to mislead but by June, the albergues should be open. I tend to book (either the same morning or the night before) only if there's a particularly nice place to stay that I don't want to miss out on.. Buen Camino !

@colesushi3 ай бұрын
Higashiyama ward covers quite a large area but the western edge borders the busy downtown area. The further east you go from there, the further into the mountains you get into "peace and quiet" territory... so with "higashiyama" there's much variety... HTH !

@colesushi4 ай бұрын
Short answer, no - you can normally do much shorter days than 25 to 30kms. There are plenty of handy apps out there (e.g. Camino Ninja) that can help you plan your day. You can find out where the next place to stay is that is between 15 and 30 kms (for example)... I think there's no shame in getting a bus/taxi if you consider your destination for the day is too far to walk ... Buen camino !

Vielen Dank für dieses wunderschöne Video. Ich bin den Urweg von Oviedo nach Muxia gegangen, einem Ort, der als das Ende der Welt bekannt ist. Es war wunderschön, entspannend, inspirierend und sehr emotional. Es hat mich an die Wege erinnert, die ich gegangen bin , vor allem die Krankenhausroute, wo ich durch die Arbeit des Schicksals das gefunden habe, wonach ich nie gesucht habe, Liebes, aber es war nicht möglich, denn so ist das Leben, nochmals vielen Dank, sehr schöne Reportage.

is it expensive to do the camino?
@colesushi5 ай бұрын
I think you can make it quite cheap. Per day: Private Alberge (hostel) bed in dormitory - eur15 Breakfast (toast plus coffee) - eur3 Mid-morning coffee - 1.20 lunch from supermarket (bread, cheese etc.) eur 5 Pre dinner beers eur 4 dinner (2 courses, including wine, bread etc.) - eur15 So that makes about eur 43 per day.
