Walking the Camino de Santiago in Northern Spain 🇪🇸 Camino del Norte Irun to Bilbao

Earlier this year, I walked part of the Camino del Norte, a trail that runs from the border with France in a town called Irun all the way to Santiago de Compostela. For 8 days I walked from Irun, along the coast through San Sebastian, Zarautz, Zumaia, Deba, and then into the moutanins in Markina, Guernica, and Lezama all the way to Bilbao.
It was a challenging week, but also a magical week. Walking the Camino de Santiago had a power that I wasn't expecting and one that I have found to be quite intoxicating, addictive even. I will definitely be back to follow more of those yellow arrows again one day.

Laura, what a lovely, positive (and supremely fit) human being you are. This was a great vlog. I've driven from Bilboa to Ondres in France on a few occassions, having ferried from Ireland and that is a mountaineous drive. I picked up my camino passports in St.Jean Pied De Porte only a few weeks back to hang on my wall as a motivation to start doing parts of the camino in 2025. The Camino Frances seems too crowded for me and my 'new' knee replacement and you have opened my eyes to Camino del Norte. Thank you for a terriffic record. You made it look so enjoyable. Thank You.

I so enjoyed your walk. Awesome vista!

@joeschu7794

That was amazing... I am impressed. Thanks for such good coverage. I really enjoyed this video

I admire you. I would have given up when facing my first hill! I've been to both Bilbao and San Sebastian, but I cheated and took the bus in between. Now, watching this, I realized what I've missed! Will definitely check out those lovely beaches and vineyards next time I'm down there...but by car 😉

@Farawaynow

Thanks for sharing this video. I hope to do the hike from Porto to Santiago next year.

@kenmaryfazio

I enjoyed this video and also inspired as well. Looking forward to watching other walks that you may be doing in the future and getting physically ready for 2024 (hopefully).. 😀

@chrisbleiler

fav so far, ...all of your episodes are great. a challenging trek for sure. now another place on my list, you guys must be bushed! there are some great 'caminos' all over oregon, many are easily reached from portland. i'll try to get my list of my 'secret' lol faves sorted and sent. thanks again for sharing. btw frank gehry, bilbao thumbnail on last vid shows his genious: the building looks like boat hulls, dry docked.

Really good and informative! I have elevation fears1,000 feet okay, 3,000 feet , not so sure.

Hi I am just beginning to explore the Norte. I have done 5 other Caminos. I was curious as to why you would not go back and walk the Bilbao-Santiago stretch. Getting to Santiago is such a thrill (been 3 times) and definitely not "anticlimactic". Enjoy your caminos!!!!

@sergelainesse7893

What I awesome walk... 👌😊🥂

@judit1783

Good for you Laura!! My idea of a vacation is a room at the Hilton, but each to their own...lol.

@taracatherineriley

Thank you so much Laura for taking us along. I have thought about doing this many times, the hills scare me a little. It seems pretty well signed. Did you have hiking boots on? Take care, Tara.
