I would have found an Airbnbs in that huge town and spend a day😊 Bilbao is a beautiful town to spend time.

[@NasLegs]

I am getting ready for the Holly Year and watching you to get ready for Camino Del Norte, and got myself thinking that you are as good as Netflix series, I keep on watching to know what happened next... Thank you so much for inspiration and butterflies in the stomach. Can’t wait to get back on the Camino 🍫💐🎉🌷

[@Walk_with_Efren]

thank you Anastassiya. I can't wait to get back out there myself in the near future.

[@felicetanka]

Bilbao views from the heights are wonderful. Agur Gracias

[@gerry431]

Dear Efren,you give much pleasure to my partner and myself, we appreciate all the effort you put into your marvellous videos and look forward to watching each and every one.Many thanks.

[@maragenerico8376]

Wow... what a wonderful baguette !!! After all you were not unlucy....no rain and eventually got a place to stay for the night. Not bad at ll !

[@johnbutler8998]

This stage of the del Norte was similar to me. Meant to be a short one ... except that I booked accommodation 10km off the trail from Lezama, so ended up walking into Bilbao 😅 The incline up the mountain before you reach Bilbao is no joke. But at least there is a vending machine at the top!

[@me-lg1yw]

I spent a day walking around Bilbao last year and loved it. I understand the Camino route may not have been ideal but Bilbao is a beautiful city and worth the 30 min scenic ride from San Sebastian.

[@scottmcdonald1139]

These videos are my newest favorite thing. Thanks for sharing!

[@Walk_with_Efren]

I'm glad you like them

[@Rogar0]

Yep Efrén, so is the Camino; full of surprises and sometimes fools (just joking)! Once more absolutely brilliant footage and I do love your humour! ¡Buen Camino! 👣🍷👍😎

[@asupertramp948]

Nice end to the video there. Fade to black, then "this has to be a joke". Excellent! Way to persevere pal. Some real slogs you've been putting in on this one. 👏

[@mariadigiovanni1168]

Sigh of relief! That hostel looks really good online! Thank you for another bit of your journey.

[@Walk_with_Efren]

it was good but away from the city center.

[@joequinn7502]

Love those Darn Tough socks!

[@jonlucas52]

Bravo - 25-mile test of your fortitude.......and what doesn't break you only makes you stronger. Looking forward to day 07.

[@DONAL914]

Seriously don't understand Efrons GPS. Its 31km from Guernica to Bilbao

[@juliaanita234]

Wonderful blog! Next year (April or May) will be my Camino. I wonder whether I should walk the Camino Del Norte that time of year, or the Camino Frances? Thanks again for the beautiful videos!!

[@Walk_with_Efren]

I have walked both on those months. my favorite time of the year. buen camino

[@KerjeanLopes]

E estava vendo aquele Albergue em Pozueta, logo após Gernika, é simplesmente espetacular! Excelentes pontuações feitas por peregrinos! Não sabia dele, vou anotar! Grato pela informação também!

[@gjbs55]

Awesome!

[@thegreatexaggerator9077]

Do you have a favorite Camino? I walked the Camino Francis in April 2019. It was nice but after the first week it so crowded I had to book my albergues way in advance just to get a bed at the end of the day, not the way I wanted to experience the Camino. Also the road walking convinced me not to do another Camino Francis. Your videos are amazing, thank you for sharing!

[@Walk_with_Efren]

My favorite camino is always the last one I did. The camino Frances is the most popular but it is not the prettiest. I does have the most infrastructure and people which in on itself is very appealing. As of now I really like the first ten days of the via Podiensis.

[@thegreatexaggerator9077]

@@Walk_with_Efren Thank you, I will look at that

[@salvatoregranata7878]

Cautivado por hermosas vistas de Espana

[@revlindaumc]

You changed the titles on the videos! I miss knowing the towns and distances. I like the titles, but I really miss the other information a lot.

[@Walk_with_Efren]

the distances are the first line on the video's description. or you can see the full library on my website

@@Walk_with_Efren Duh. Thanks!!! :-D I have GOT to get new glasses!

Super Video ,my Start to do the Camino del norte was 2. May ,but Corona cancelled everything.😀😀

[@pawelb7471]

I also planed to start camino del Norte on the 2nd of May. Now I hope to do it in September

[@cbz3830]

@@pawelb7471 i'm thinking the same but ....,maybe maybe not.

Alove 🧡

[@DONAL914]

Hello again. If you don't mind but what shoes did you wear. You never once mentioned sore feet or blisters. Well done

[@Walk_with_Efren]

thank you. I used Altra Lone peak boots amzn.to/2UiQn2u

[@DONAL914]

Thank you. You have the ability to bring us back to each stage and wonderful memories. That day from the alberque in Deva thru Gijon to Aviles was indeed probably the worst experience on Del Norte. From Aviles onwards was crazy beautiful and you captured it so magnificently.

[@ctay122]

They sure were harvesting a lot of timber from those mountains in a few of your videos. Kind of sad to me. And that poor horse was in dire need of a farrier, poor thing! 😩

[@Frabama]

En mi casa estamos deseando ver tus vídeos todos lo días. Nos haces revivir el camino que vivimos y los caminos que queremos ver. Donde podemos ver las fotos que seguro que haces. Saludos desde Malaga

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Gracias Francisco. las fotos estarán en mi página web efrengonzalez.com en unos días.

[@RuiAquino]

Every journeys of your Camino are awesome, beautiful footage, photos and drone footage as well. You carry a lot of technology with you, but my question is other: how many GB of data you collected in Camino del Norte? Buen Camino

[@Walk_with_Efren]

I think I mentioned it at the end of vlog 02 on del Norte but I think it was around 50 GB a day between all my cameras.

[@kenpesek7254]

Cuban mountain goat, you ought to consider doing this for a living..... just kidding. Everyone knows you are a pro!

[@KerjeanLopes]

Olá Efrén, que etapa longa essa! Mas ficou um dúvida: os guias que tenho consultado dão cerca de 31 Km de distância de Gernika para Bilbao; no seu percurso deu 40,76 Km, pergunto: aumentou a distância pela escolha do albergue? que era distante do centro? isso mesmo?

[@Walk_with_Efren]

yes, the albergue is a few kilometers from the historic city. 40 km is what my gps recorded for the day as you can see (in miles) in the animation at the end of the video.

[@natashalion8028]

Do you know if there were any places, ie farms, that you could buy raw, unpasteurized milk from ?

[@Walk_with_Efren]

I saw a couple far in between

[@123benny4]

Efren, what footwear are you wearing? I need to buy a new pair. Were/Are you happy with them?

[@Walk_with_Efren]

I use Altra Olympus 4 or lone peaks 5. they are zero drop and need some getting use to it but I love them

[@123benny4]

@@Walk_with_Efren Thank you for your message. Very kind. All the best to you, Efren.
