Recommendations for best 5-6 days on Northern Way
Hello! I'm a first-time pilgrim looking for a 5-6 day itinerary along the northern way. I've got a decent amount of experience hiking and would prioritize views and beaches. Also, I'd like to make a stop in Bilbao at some point for the Guggenheim. Any recommendations on the specific route I should take would be much appreciated. Thanks so much!

Hi! I would most definitely do the beginning of the Camino del Norte, from Bayonne to Bilbao but having less days, you can walk Irún to Bilbao though you'll have to do a little adjustment as the 'recommended' stages will take you 7 days. There are plenty of albergues and hotels to walk it in 6 days. If you have good weather, take the costal variants like Jaizkibel from Irun to Pasajes and the Flysch in Zumaia to Deba. Just before, from Zarautz, you can walk to Getaria, beautiful town with amazing seafood, along the coast but it's all asphalt so I recommend you take the mountain route that has beautiful rural and ocean views and you can still make it to Getaria. You won't be disappointed. Buen Camino!
