Camino Norte 2018 Itinerary – Irun to Mogro.
One of the best experiences of the Camino is the spontaneity of the journey. While on the Camino living life one moment at a time is very different than most of our daily lives. So much of our normal life is pre-planned. Alarm clocks, commuting to work, work day, commuting to home etc. The Camino gives you an opportunity to live a bit more freely.
On the Camino Frances, you have a lot more flexibly due to wide array of Albergues and services to choose from. On the Camino Norte, a bit more planning is required as there are fewer places to sleep and eat. I put together the following itinerary; perhaps someone else will find this useful on a similar journey in the future.
