The '''Camino del Norte''', or [[Northern Way]], is also less traveledtravelled and starts in the Basque city of [[Irun]] on the border with France, or sometimes in [[San Sebastián]]. It is a less popular route because of its changes in elevation, whereas the Camino Frances is mostly flat. The route follows the coast along the [[Bay of Biscay]] until it nears Santiago. Though it does not pass through as many historic points of interest as the Camino Frances, it has cooler summer weather. The route is believed to have been first used by pilgrims to avoid traveling through the territories occupied by the Muslims in the Middle Ages.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Camino del Norte |url=https://caminoways.com/ways/northern-way-camino-del-norte |website=Camino Ways}}</ref>
