Walked the Norte last year....thank you SO much for this vid, and for the Frances one. Although I've extensively journaled my Norte, this has allowed me to relive it once again. Merci from French Canada!

[@rolfscaminos]

You are welcome. I am glad you enjoyed the videos. Basically the main reason I do these videos is to keep a record of these walks...

[@mortenfoss1303]

You are undoubtedly one of the most professional here, and it is clear that you put a lot of good work into this. And you get better with every video I watch and I was already impressed with your first ones. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

[@rolfscaminos]

Wow, thank you! I am glad you enjoy the videos.

[@celiareno1479]

Enjoyable and inspiring. Thank you!

[@rolfscaminos]

You are so welcome!

[@gettingby]

Bravo! Great use of NATS. Cut very well. I really liked your use of the 360, and drone without overusing the effects. My next Camino will be from Lisbon.

[@rolfscaminos]

Thank you very much. Enjoy the Portugues from Lisbon... the first stages are a bit slow... but Tomar make up for it all. I have a PDF with all the stages etc from Lisbon on www.rolfscaminos.com Bon Camino!

[@libradaolivera3062]

Muchas gracias por este reportaje tan precioso . Lo empezé el verano pasado Irún y lo dejé en Grandas de Salime y el mes pasado lo he terminado .

[@rolfscaminos]

Enhorabuena! Me alegra que te haya gustado.

[@faultyrobots]

This is great Rolf! I liked seeing some of the sections and knowing that I waked it that day or the very next day 😊

[@rolfscaminos]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@michaelhaimerl8896]

I love your attitude to the camino❤👍 They gave your room away during your dinner and you said its not a big deal. 👍👍👍👍👍👍Keep on going❤❤

[@rolfscaminos]

Thank you! I actually was super happy as the Albergue I ended up at was fantastic!

[@michaelhaimerl8896]

By the way, breathtaking videos from the beautiful landscape - one of the best videos from the camino del norte❤

[@CapmanBe]

Superbe vidéo ❤ merci 🇧🇪

[@rolfscaminos]

Bienvenue!

[@JamesMandolare]

There is a lot of great camera work here. Did you have to do a lot of extra walking to go back and get your camera after you did a walk through? I love your "drone" footage too. Funny how you don't really see the tech as you walk. Well done sir. Perhaps you could do a little "behind the scenes" video about how you video your camino? Thx.

[@rolfscaminos]

Thank you very much. I have a lot of fun filming it all, specially the drone footage! I do walk quite a bit more than if I wouldn't be filming, but I have learnt to count my steps...:)

[@sabsab8789]

Bonjour, votre video est superbe. Merci pour ce partage.

[@rolfscaminos]

Merci beaucoup, je suis heureux(se) que cela vous ait plu.

[@sabsab8789]

@@rolfscaminos avez vous remarqué si il y a beaucoup de lieu potentiel pour bivouaquer ? Je pars début mai. Bonne journée 🤗

[@rolfscaminos]

Il y a quelques endroits où vous pourriez certainement le faire. Consultez les itinéraires alternatifs le long de la côte, car l'itinéraire principal suit principalement la route ou est sur la route et il n'y aurait pas d'emplacements.

[@seanclark2085]

Nice one, great Vid 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼

[@rolfscaminos]

Thank you!

[@emlyngriffith5846]

An excellent video….thank you 👍🍷

[@rolfscaminos]

Glad you enjoyed it... Thank you!

[@WarrenHD]

Enjoyed it thoroughly. Thank you! Just feel the end was a huge anticlimax, and you missed the opportunity to express the emotions one experiences on arrival at and inside the Cathedral!

[@rolfscaminos]

Glad you enjoyed it! Sadly I had a problem with the camera settings the last day and the footage of the arrival was not usable...

[@RuedigerBerlich]

Hi Rolf, thanks a lot for the (as always) nice and well-made video. I appreciate all the work you put into this! When was this video taken? The title says 2024, but it was shot in late August / September, and in 2022 the "beer bootle bar" at 1:23:38 had been shut down, with all bottles removed. Thanks again and Kind Regards, Rüdiger

[@rolfscaminos]

Thank you. It was filmed a while back but I never got around to editing it as there were some problems with some of the footage. I finally decided to edit it... hence the 2024. I saw that the bottle bar was closed in September when I walked the Frances... :( But I don't think the boots used to be there just down the street before.. ;)

[@Thewild_trails]

Lovely video and so useful. Can i ask what camera/drone you used? Really beautiful potrayal of the Northern Trail. Thank you 😊

[@rolfscaminos]

Thank you. I had the DJI Mini 2 on that walk. I now use the Mini 3 Pro as it is way easier to use but will be upgrading to the 4 Pro shortly....

[@rolfscaminos]

As to the camera I use my phone a Samsung Note and the insta360 One R

[@MrSgtau]

I'm walking the norte from Bilbao this September (7th camino). Did you stay at the albergue de peregrinos in Santander? Some of the reviews in gronze are not very good. I guess I'll just deal with it, as alternatives are likely to be booked well in advance, and I don't know exactly when I will be arriving in Santander......After Bilbao, there are usually municipal albergues, but not always, as I'm realizing. Hopefully, I will not get stuck in towns with only 40+ Euro options. I will be walking past Santander after mid September, so hopefully most of the tourists will be gone by then. Great video, by the way. It's giving a good idea of what to expect.

[@rolfscaminos]

Thank you. I did not stay at the Municipal in Santander. But I am pretty sure you will find accommodations in September. Buen Camino!

[@calaf1816]

my Camino del Norte starts in August 1 from Irun. and I am already so stressed out to find reasonably priced Albergues (up to 30 Euros ) town after town , there are plenty of expensive pensions and hotels but not Albergues(many of them are already full). summer is the busiest season so many Peregrinos are competing to find place to rest. I sent many E mails to PA, but a few of them are answered. I am not young and planed 42 days 15-20kms a day. walking is already hard enough, I do not want have hard time to find for sleep. so I am thinking, a week late( after Bilbao ), turn into the Camino de Frances which I did twice. i spent a week to make reservations for Albergue, but no progress. where should I look at for find Albergues on Norte ? give me some information if you have.

[@KhurshidsChannel]

Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing. Sub & 👍158

[@rolfscaminos]

Thank you very much! Very much appreciated!

[@meidbo]

Hi Rolf, Great videos. What was your experience with albergue vacancy in September? We'll be on the Norte from 11 Sept to 24 Sept and I have mobility issues that slow me way down, even though I have the legs for a long walk. This will be Camino No. 7 for us. keep up the good work.

[@rolfscaminos]

Thank you. After August the albergue situation was not a problem at all so you should be fine. I wish you a Buen Camino!

[@anxomillaraveiga9404]

welcome to route cheer up

[@rolfscaminos]

hmmm.... not sure what you mean...

[@MonikaPetryBHV]

Thank you so much for your video and the PDF. I appreciate your service very much, as I intend to walk the Camino del Norte in September/October this year. May I ask you - as you have seen many albergues - is it possible to put the tent uotside of the albergue, of course I would pay for it. Thank you in advance, and buen camino! ♥

[@rolfscaminos]

Hi Monika, You are welcome. Most of the albergue I stayed at on the Norte are in the towns and don't have a place you could pitch a tent. However there were a few that allowed tents. In Orio and Izarbide just after Deba they definitely let you.

[@MonikaPetryBHV]

@@rolfscaminos Thank you! And BUEN CAMINO wherever you go!

[@capt.miguelresendez5238]

What is an estimate of the cost of your trip per day and how many days total? Thank you

[@rolfscaminos]

You can calculate spending about 30 to 50 Euro a day. I spent 31 days walking and took 2 rest days...

[@catherineweaver9302]

Those bulky boots...weigh a ton..PAIN...trail shoes SO much better!!!

[@rolfscaminos]

On the Norte they were a pain... but in the mud and downhills on the Primitivo they were well worth the bulk...then again the only blister I got was from the Trail Runners... ;)

[@bethannepratt3900]

Wear what you are used to walking in. Take what you are used to walking with. There are too many “What NOT to bring on the Camino!” and “Camino: Don’t make THESE mistakes!” videos out there. Honestly … if people are comfortable walking in boots, let them walk in boots. No need to kit shame people.

[@Angeliqued]

@@bethannepratt3900Exactly! Everyone walks his own Camino.

[@rolfscaminos]

Yes!
