Hi Luis. This was end of May / beginning of June this year. We used the Buen Camino app for navigation since it has detours for cyclists. Glad you like the video. It’s a beautiful route!
My husband and I are planning to do this next year - I would love to have your itinerary and the places you stayed at. Did you bring your own e-bikes or hired them over there?
Appreciate the reply and info. I will definitely follow-up with Bikeiberia when I make that pilgrimage. Take care, and please continue to share your life adventures. 🙂
Very nice. Few questions. How did you plan your itinerary? (Which towns to stay, length of the trip, etc.) 2. Did you book lodging ahead of time? Did every town you stayed had hotels? Any issues getting hotels is super small towns? 3. Did the app you use is in English? 4. Did you had any mechanical problems with the bike and if so was the rental company helpful? 5. Which part of the route was the most beautiful? (Since I don't have 16 days to ride). Thank you.
I got some ideas from forums and adjusted the itinerary to my plans according to elevations which I got from gronze site. 2. Yes. I made sure the towns I chose had lodging and restaurants 3. Yes I used Buen Camino app. 4. Luckily no serious mechanical problems just used up all my brake pads which I replaced as the rental company gave me a spare set.
Great video. I want to ride it now. Now that you know that trail, do you think someone could do it on a recumbent trike? Are any of the tracks way too narrow?
Hi..liked the video. I see you rented the bikes. How many miles a day were you doing?...Did you do it on your own or go with one of the many companies?.Did you stay in hotels or the hostels?...How often did you take a day off to spend time in the local area? I got a quote for over 4000 Euros for a 23 day trip..many of the days were only 20-30 kms.. A lot of questions...but would appreciate your feed back.
Hi Martin. Yes we rented the bikes and planned our own Camino spread over 16 days of cycling averaging 60 kms a day. No rest days as we always arrived in good time to have a look around the town/city we were staying at. You don’t need a company as there’s so much material on the web to help you plan it. We stayed mainly in small hotels as did not want any Covid issues by sharing bedrooms. If you want more help you can email me on michagrech@gmail.com. I can share any material I have.
Nice! I did the Frances last year by bike, going back in May, Because of some injuries and lack of fitness, some friends were riding ebikes this time. It looks like you had ebikes. Did you have trouble finding places to charge it? We're staying largely in hotels, but the batteries are not removable.
Hi! Yes we had e-bikes. We stayed in various places which I pre-book and let them know that we have e-bikes to store and charge. No one ever turned us down, however, I feel better informing them before.
@michagrech thank you, yes I have reached out in advance, and maybe 1/2 have responded, so I guess management of the battery will be part of the adventure 😀 thank you!
Hallo! Im Francesca from switzerland and with my kids (2&6) since 8 weeks on a biketrip to portugal. Now in Biarritz. I dont know if we should continue the camino norte o frances. You think the norte is possible with stroller and ebike??
We used e-bikes. It’s rather hilly depends on how fit you are and whether you’re up for it. We wanted to take it easy this time and just enjoy the ride.
There are some steep climbs and descents especially in the first stages. For the first time we used an ebike and we were thinking God for that decision on every hill 😁
Yes you have to if renting from Bikeiberia.First of all they have limited bikes and secondly you’ll have to coordinate drop off and pick up since they’re different locations.
Hi. I cycled the Frances in 2014 and the Portuguese in 2016 so I wanted a new route. Unfortunately the Frances has become too busy. The last day of the Norte is on the Frances route and I found it too busy now. From the three I think this is the most beautiful and has the most hills!! I loved it. Next year I will do the Primitivo hopefully which is in the same area.
@@michagrech Thank you so much for you'r quick answer! As far as difficulty, how difficult did the heels make it compared to the frances one? It is of matter to me since its my first big biking trail. And did you have any difficulty getting supplies along the way? I know the towns are fewer along the way.
@@Bar3948576 to be honest this route I did with an ebike as I heard it is tough and I wanted to enjoy the scenery without killing myself. I think it is quite tough with a normal bike. I would have struggled I think.
Bonjour je désire faire le camino del norte en vttae au printemps. est ce difficile,suis t'on le chemin ou doit t'on prendre la route,je suis preneur de conseils,astuces ect.. merci florent
How many days? How much without the air tickets thereof? Would you be kind enough to give us a list of your overnights, please? I thank you in advance. Stay safe ; ^ o
Thank you kindly for your quick response-which I did not expect. What kinds of accommodations you used? Which cities/towns/villages were your stops? Do the cycling/walking routes differ from each other in any way? Did BikeIberia put together your itinerary and accommodations thereof? Thank you again. Stay safe ; ^ {|}
Alas, we are not allowed to give away our email addresses through this platform-I am afraid! I have already tried three times without any luck. The System keeps deleting them automatically! I am not so sure what to do next now. Any ideas? Thank you…
Hi im think of takng my bicycles on the Camino do you have tips on the best routs my idea is start in France through spain to end of the world. Hi from IRL
Hi. I did the French, the Portuguese and the North routes. All beautiful in their way. North was most impressive I think and it does start on the border with France. Bit hilly though. French route has become somewhat crowded now but still a beautiful route. I highly recommend you do it. It's a beautiful ride and you'll meet great people on the way. Go for it.
👍👍👍Excelente trabajo, tremendo, yo empiezo el Camino en una semana, vídeos como este motivan mas 💪💪
I am going on the same route in a few weeks with my own mountain bike. Thanks a lot for sharing. great job! JP
This has made me want to dig my bike out of the shed and get on it!! Thank you 😊
Beautiful video, thanks!

un camino muy bonito ,muchas gracias peregrinas
Hi love this video, thanks so much. Would you be kindly to share the taxi for ribadeo to As Cathedrais? 💛
0034 629418251 or taxiabelmondonedo@gmail.com. We went from Lourenzá not Ribadeo but he might be able to help you anyway.

@@michellepetrusma7126 hi. Send me an email on michagrech@gmail.com and I’ll send you my notes.
Great video; thanks for sharing. I'm interested to do that ride in the near future. Did you bring your own e-bike, or was it a rental?
We rented from Bikeiberia
Appreciate the reply and info. I will definitely follow-up with Bikeiberia when I make that pilgrimage. Take care, and please continue to share your life adventures. 🙂
@@subicbay8121 Thanks! Will do eyeing the Primitivo next :-) I'm addicted.

I’m away at the moment. Can you email me the questions and will reply after my return on the 20th? Thanks Michagrech@gmail.com

5. I think you can do the route in less time esp on an ebike. I think the wow factor is at the beginning but I loved all of it!
This is what I meant. What app did you use for the route? Than you.
I’d love to cycle this same route, can you share your list of places you stayed? And time taken to complete the trip ?
I have a document with info. Can send it by email if you give me your address
Amazing video! What did you all use for navigation on this trip?
Thanks. We used the Buen Camino app which has detours for cyclists and the normal Camino signs.
@@michagrech Thank you!
Legends! 👍👌👏
🤣😂
Great video. I want to ride it now. Now that you know that trail, do you think someone could do it on a recumbent trike? Are any of the tracks way too narrow?
I don’t think so unless you stick to the road and paths which are not through the forested areas

Hallo! Im Francesca from switzerland and with my kids (2&6) since 8 weeks on a biketrip to portugal. Now in Biarritz. I dont know if we should continue the camino norte o frances. You think the norte is possible with stroller and ebike??
nice vid, thanks, where is it 10:00 ?
Thks. It’s Laredo beach where you get the ferry to Santonia.
Did you use ebikes? Recommend ebikes or just regular mountain bike? thanks
We used e-bikes. It’s rather hilly depends on how fit you are and whether you’re up for it. We wanted to take it easy this time and just enjoy the ride.
Hello! How did you keep away from the difficult hiking trails?
Hi. We used the Buen Camino app to navigate and it has detours for cyclists. It was a great help.
I heard this was the most difficult ride in Spain, do you confirm? You did well with 60Ks a day
There are some steep climbs and descents especially in the first stages. For the first time we used an ebike and we were thinking God for that decision on every hill 😁
Do we have to book bikes ahead of time? Or can we just show up and rent the bikes? Don’t know exact dates we will be in Gijon to rent bikes.
Yes you have to if renting from Bikeiberia.First of all they have limited bikes and secondly you’ll have to coordinate drop off and pick up since they’re different locations.
I am trying to do the camino norte on bike in september, when you guy did it where did you sleep most evenings?
Small guesthouses. No albergues because of Covid.
Hello, may i ask why you chose this route over the Camino De Frances one? Im trying to decide for myself atm between the two
Hi. I cycled the Frances in 2014 and the Portuguese in 2016 so I wanted a new route. Unfortunately the Frances has become too busy. The last day of the Norte is on the Frances route and I found it too busy now. From the three I think this is the most beautiful and has the most hills!! I loved it.

@@michagrech I see, thank you
Hey girls, i want to ride el camino del norte but i am not sure which track to follow. Are you able to tell me which one you followed?
We followed the route from the Buen Camino app since it follows the walkers’ route with detours for cyclists. It was very convenient.
super video, nur grässliche musik, aber da ihr ja nie etwas sagt was man hören müsste, habe ich die dann abgestellt. tolle leistung, alle achtung
Bonjour
je désire faire le camino del norte en vttae au printemps.
est ce difficile,suis t'on le chemin ou doit t'on prendre la route,je suis preneur de conseils,astuces ect.. merci florent
The first stages are quite hilly. There are rough parts too but the Buen Camino App gives bike detours. It is a beautiful route!
How many days? How much without the air tickets thereof? Would you be kind enough to give us a list of your overnights, please? I thank you in advance. Stay safe ; ^ o
Sixteen cycling days. Not sure about overall cost but average for lodgings was about Eur25 to Eur30 per person per night
