From May 4th to June 1st, 2017, Carolyn and I hiked from Irun to Santiago de Compostela on the Camino del Norte through Spain. It is a less popular and crowded Camino route compared to the Camino Frances, which sees hundreds of thousands of pilgrims each season. Spanning 29 days over 505 miles, it brought us through some spectacular coastal scenery, farmland and too many really old buildings and churches.
