Among the pilgrimage paths that cross Spain to Saint-Jacques-de-Compostela, Camino del Norte along the North Spanish coast is one of the calm and least frequented. It is precisely what makes the charm of the coastal path: the Jacques pilgrims still find the right balance between calm and serenity away from the crowd.

The Rother "Camino del Norte" hiking guide presents this path with all important variants and information for pilgrims. The Camino del Norte is a dream destination not only because of its tranquility, but also its landscapes and culture.

The Spanish coast of the Atlantic has various faces: green and charming, wild and steep. The cities of San Sebastián, a worldly seaside resort, Bilbao, former industrial center become cultural center with the Guggenheim Museum, the exceptional rock paintings of Altamira, but also Gernika with its moving history, are among the most important stations. The Rother Hiking Guide "Chemin de Saint Jacques - Camino del Norte" leads pilgrims into 29 stages of Irun to Saint-Jacques-Compostela and in four additional steps to Fisterra and Muxía.

Each of these steps is accurately described and presented with a color hiking board and an informative altitude profile. The pilgrims also find practical tips for the path, on infrastructure, cottages and other accommodation along the way without forgetting information on the cultural and historic context along the itinerary. GPS coordinates can be downloaded.

Thanks to its practical format and its bad weather coverage, this hiking guide finds its place in any bag pocket and resists without damage to the most difficult steps.
