Ep 97 Camino del Norte - Oops, that's not Saint James! Irun to San Sebastian.

Join us as we make our way to The Way and set off on the Camino del Norte, the Northern route in August 2023. We spend a day in France, in St Jean-de-Luz to be precise, before crossing the border to Irun. There we spend ‘Day 0’ getting organised and amped up at our first Albergue for Peregrinos.

Day 1 sends us off to little Santa Ana Donativo in Pasages de San Juan, where we become acquainted with fellow pilgrims, Alex from Germany and Roberto from Italy. The four of us walk together to San Sebastian on Day 2
