ℹ️ Day 1 on the Camino del Norte is not for the faint of heart. Leaving Irun, Spain, the trail almost immediately begins a steep climb before climbing even higher on the Purgatorio Route where spectacular views of the ocean await. We however had a different experience. Cool temperatures, high winds, and driving rain made the climb extra difficult and thick clouds and fog obscured almost all of our views. But “ultreia e suseia” to San Sebastián. Come along with us as we begin this amazing adventure.

Have you heard of this Camino? Have you walked it? Dreaming about it? Tell us your Camino story in the comments! 👇🏼
walked it in september/october 2022 with my husband and walking it again in 2 weeks with my daughter! Hoping the weather will be better than we had in 2022 and also better than you had!
@@lynnkriedemann6855 I’m sure, though challenging, it will be amazing!!
Enjoy the Txakoli white wine in Basque Country!
@@davidj7239 we are enjoying it right now! 😆❤️
So nice to see you guys again🙏🏽💖
I did part of Camino del Norte (from Santillana del Mar) in 2021. It was pure magic🥰
WOW! you really had to battle with the elements of the weather. Great days effort and the weather would certainly made it worse than if the conditions were more pleasant. 🙏🏼👍🏼🤠 Buon Camino.
You got that right! What a start! The Norte route gave us a crazy welcome!! lol Thanks!
Such an awful start for you and many others this summer on the caminos, if it ain’t raining it’s a heatwave ! My first day on the Norte was absolutely wonderful, a fantastic day - in September 2022. It is beautiful, stunning, on the high route and even the much talked about awful climb at the start isn’t that long or bad (I admit I only walk with a day pack). There isn’t much accommodation in Pasaia but my advice is to overnight there and have a short walk into San Sebastián and an afternoon exploring the city on day 2. (with the best pinchos of the entire coast). Looking forward to watching more….
Thank you so much! We appreciate your empathy. The rain is going to be a common theme for this Camino. I am so glad this wasn't the experience for you! As you watch the videos, please let us know what views we missed! Haha! We enjoyed a great rest day in San Sebastián - yes the best pinchos!! Thanks for watching!! - Michelle & Brian
Safe journey! Excited to follow along. Def a windy and foggy start
So windy, oh my gosh! But thank you ❤️❤️
Sending hugs and love and admiration--and missing you both! Thot: sometimes the hard times (rainy days) are beneficial because they give a contrast and an appreciation for the blessed times (and sunny days). Also, my new nickname is "slow on the uptake David." I discovered today (finally) that I had never been to your website or read your blog! Doh on me! Went there to catch up on your fall in Paris and will visit there much more frequently now. So sorry about your fall and your terrible experience in the French hospital! I hope you are recovering well. Brian, kudos for getting this video up so quickly! It's so "fresh" that it feels like I'm there with you, which would be a joy! (Clarification: A joy to fellowship with you both, though I would totally not be up for the ass-kicking!) Buen camino!
We are still laughing over your comments, haha!! We are not up for this ass kicking either. I mean oh my gosh, this route is so hard!!! Every day is extremely hilly, and never just one hill. I can’t believe it’s so intense.
Last year I didn’t blog, rather my daily social media posts were blog-like. However, I decided I don’t like for this type of experience so I’m blogging again.
My fall was quite terrible. You’ll find out soon that I got my staples out on day 3 and I’m getting along pretty well. Mild headaches but not too bad.
Miss you both!!! ❤️❤️
I hiked the Del Norte to Bilbao and that section was difficult; especially the first day going over the Purgatorio Route. From our hotel to the end hotel was 30k. That said, I would easily do it all over again.
I’m watching your series with great anticipation as I hope to hike the remainder of the DN from Bilbao in the not too distant future.
Buen Camino!!!
Wow, that’s a tough first day!!! It’s going to be a tough summer but if not now, when? 🤷🏻♀️ We hope we encourage you!! Buen Camino!
Wishing we could be there with you, sorry your first day was challenging. Buen Camino, Todd and Clara from Kansas City.
Next time! We miss you guys!!! ❤️❤️
Buen Camino - Challenging first day! On the Francés enjoying my last rest day in Leon.
Have fun! Enjoy the rest of your Way!! ❤️
My husband and I walked the Norte last September celebrating our 70th birthdays. It’s definitely a challenging one! Portuguese and Francigena are under our belts so this September we’re headed out to do the Frances. I’m thinking this one will be a walk in the park compared to the Norte! Buen Camino. Enjoying your videos!
Oh my gosh, for your 70th birthday’s!! Congratulations, this is our toughest Camino yet! Until this one the Via Francigena was our toughest. But wow! You’re going to love the Frances, we walked it last summer and had the time of our lives! Buen Camino! Thanks for watching. If you haven’t seen our Camino Frances, here’s the playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLG--HvVXwJoU8Y3s1_teuS5FmIQs_E-H0.html&si=S1DqLn1NsqHZuNH1
We thought the Fracigena was crazy hard until the Norte. Hiking up those hilltop towns at the end of a hot day was tough. I have watched all your videos. Enjoyed them all.
@@annloudon674 awww, thank you so much!! And you’re right about this Norte. But we haven’t even dealt with the heat…yet!! 🫣
Hey guys we have some catching up to do you have several videos to check out. Life took us by surprise and we had to take a small break but we are catching up now slowly. So glad your back out and going we are so excited to watch this whole adventure. This is going to be fun oh love the new hair!
We don’t expect anyone to watch all of our videos, as we don’t have time to always keep up with others. Sometimes we all need a TH-cam break. Never worry! ❤️ We appreciate you sticking around and engaging with us because you like us. 😆 Cheers! 🍻
Wow! Glad to see you out there Michelle and glad to see you took those steps easy! That weather was terrible! How long did you walk on that ridge in that terrible weather? I like how Brian said you stopped for a bathroom/cocktail break 😂. Keep on keepin on! You’ve got this!!
Haha!! We walked on the ridge for awhile. A few miles, maybe? 🤷🏻♀️ Let me tell you, that bathroom break was more urgent than any cocktail. 😆😆🫣
I am so proud of y’all on this very first day!! 🎉🎉🎉
It’s a constant state of exhaustion but the views (most of the time)!!! 🙌🏼❤️
Welcome to the hardest Camino 🤣
You are not kidding! 😳
