    Breathtaking oceancoast hiking | Day 4 of Camino del Norte from Irún to San Sebastián

    The day started with a stunning location we were camping in. The sky was covered in clouds but it was painted in a beautiful colors of sunrise. Yesterday we fall asleep by the sound of the ocean and monotone songs of zucades. That was very calming. We slept very well, it was a very quiet night, you can even say hot because there was no wind. The day promised to be cloudy and cooler than the rest of the days which we were glad to see cause walking in the sun gets quite tiring. So we had our breakfast and left to search for the official Camino route that was…

This day we already felt better and more energized not in our best physical state but much better than yesterday.

The whole day the trail was quite easy partly on the pavement partly on…

    We got kicked out of the camping! | First day of Camino del Norte

    Our first official day started at 9 am when we were woken up by the people and cars moving around in the camping that we found the night before. We slept only for 5 hours, still tired from the yesterday nightmare, but we had nothing to do but start walking and walk at least several kms. Because even though we didn’t have a plan to rush we still wanted to be moving everyday and getting closer to our goal. So we got up and tried to pack everything up very quick and went to find a place to cook breakfast and eat it. Finally it was time to eat something…
