Camino de Santiago/ Camino del Norte

Hi everyone!

I'm planning to walk the Camino del Norte for the first time this September and would really appreciate some advice.

I'm thinking of starting in Luarca rather than walking the entire route.

How difficult is this section of the Camino del Norte? Is it a good choice for a first Camino, or would you recommend a different route?

Has anyone walked from Luarca to Santiago in September? How was the weather, the number of pilgrims, and the overall experience?

Any tips or things you wish you'd known before starting would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
