Description

The Camino del Norte and Camino Primitivo to Santiago de Compostela and Finisterre from Irun or Oviedo is a comprehensive guide for walkers embarking on these two northern Spanish pilgrim routes. Spanning 820km and 355km, respectively, these routes offer a unique and challenging hiking experience, with the Camino del Norte following the coast from Irun to Bilbao and the Camino Primitivo passing through Oviedo and Lugo before reaching Compostela.

This guidebook provides detailed information on the routes, including stages of up to 35km, pilgrim albergues, facilities, food, and lodging. It also includes 1:100,000 scale maps of the route and town maps for key locations, as well as notes on preparation and planning, travel and equipment, and a list of useful sources of information. With its focus on practical advice and indispensable information, this guide is ideal for walkers looking to complete these iconic routes.

Both routes offer a unique and rewarding experience, with the Caminos de Santiago seeing a resurgence in popularity in recent years. The northern routes, in particular, offer a more relaxed and peaceful experience, with fewer crowds than the Camino Frances. With this guide, walkers can plan and prepare for their journey, and enjoy the stunning scenery and rich history of northern Spain.
