Basque wild/free camping - is it done??
Kaixo lagunak,
I'd like to know how realistic it is to travel for several days in a row only pitching a tent in the wild. I am used to responsible camping, with respect for the land as a priority.
I live in Scotland, where wild camping is legal almost everywhere if you are considerate and super careful with fire (only lighting fires on riverbanks, basically).
I am organising a solo trip to the area around Bilbao and Vitoria in April/May. I will be working my way around by helping on 2 farms, hopefully. I am trying to decide how long the gaps between farms should be! If the wild camping is very restricted I will try to get from one to the other within 2 days. Otherwise I may leave 5 or 6.
(I can't really afford many nights in proper campsites, and I don't enjoy them much.)
Would really appreciate any insights regarding the actual law, the practical opportunities, even good spots if you know them!
Many thanks and regards, Arren x
