We will be doing Camino Norte route from Irun to Bilbao in September. We plan on using local buses occasionally to get to accomadations areas and traveling on rest days etc . Is there a main busline between the towns in that area and do you need a buscard? Looking to be prepared to take a bus if needed at anytime on the route. Thanks for any tips. I did see the Dbus in Donostia accepts cash or card but wondering about routes after Donostia to Bilabao.

Any tips on keeping heavier items from slipping down or crunching other items to bottom of the pack? No ties inside main points inside compartment.
