Most things ran smoothly. Most accomodation was excellent. Bag transfer was efficient and timely. Spending a few days in San Sebastian prior to the walk was really great.
Tips, tricks, and trail insights - everything you need to know about multi-day walks in Camino de Santiago.
Overview
Walk one of the most scenically spectacular of all the Camino routes on this journey along Spain's dramatic northern coastline from Irun, near the French border, to the magnificent cathedral city of Santiago de Compostela. The Camino del Norte covers 800 kilometres of extraordinarily diverse terrain, moving between rugged clifftops, ancient fishing villages, lush Galician forests and rolling hills dotted with traditional stone hamlets. Less walked than the Frances but no less rewarding, the Norte offers a wilder, more varied and deeply atmospheric experience of pilgrimage walking — one where the scenery constantly surprises and the sense of quiet adventure never really leaves you.

When you’re already on the ground you don’t even need the trail notes/ walking routes. You just get on with the flow. You will never get lost. If you plan to do the Camino de Santiago, look no further than Auswalk. Seamless and you are in good hands.

I have recently completed the Camino Walk. Having the Notes and App provided by Auswalk was a great help in both my preparation for the walk and to follow during the walk itself. The accommodation was very good and well located and the luggage delivery service worked perfectly. I had great weather and shared the walk with many other helpful and friendly people from many different countries. Great.

I found Auswalk to be fully supportive and helpful in arranging my Camino. Everything went well. Pickups, hotel bookings, luggage transfers- all went perfectly. I couldn’t have expected any more - it was great
More About This Destination
There are better times than others to walk the Camino. On almost all of the Caminos, spring and autumn are the best times. Mid-summer can be a little warmer. Early winter is possible, but the accommodations along the route are less likely to be open.
You will have to check the weather for each destination, especially through the Pyrenees. We have provided more detailed information on the specific walk's website page for each destination.
Frequently asked questions
Unfortunately, walkers cannot travel with the luggage. The information you are provided with has details for local taxi numbers, bus and train timetables should you wish to not walk on any day. Your accommodation hosts will also have up to date information and advice should you wish to travel to the next destination by local transport. As always, you can call us in the office should you need help during your walk.
We can organise this anywhere along the walk. However, we strongly recommend a rest day at the end of the walk in Santiago.
Subject to a single occupancy payment, single rooms are available. However, due to the limited accommodation single rooms might not always be available for every night of the tour, but we will let you know your options throughout the booking process.
Of course, we’re happy to discuss your needs. If you feel you would prefer to stay an extra night or two in Santiago, we can help arrange this for you.
Of course, please let us know at the time of booking if you would like to extend your time in Santiago.
We don't allow children under the age of 13 to do this walk.
Absolutely. Many people choose to complete stages of the Camino as a solo walker. There are many people walking the route and many of the overnight stays welcome hordes of walkers which means you can choose to walk your own journey or join in the camaraderie of walking with others.
We wouldn’t suggest completing the itinerary in less than 38 days but 39 days with an extra night along the way is always a good idea. Speak to the office to insert another rest day if you want to when booking.
