In case somebody wonders: This is based on the availability of beds on the Roncesvalles website. You can see whether there are more than 40 beds available or not. When it is less than 40, the system tells you how many are left. No surprises...
If you want to stay in Roncesvalles, then book your bed.
We are currently about two weeks away from the 1st of May, and while things may still change during the next two weeks, currently these will be the busiest days in Roncesvalles: Saturday...
Dear forummembers,
It is with great sadness I inform you of the death of @annakappa.
She and her husband fraluchi ( who was also a member here ) were very active on this forum.
They were both gentle and wise people.
They were always generous...
1st May is traditionally a holiday in Europe. I am not sure if it is traditionally Mondayised to produce a long weekend or taken on the day that it falls. This year it falls on Wednesday and I would expect that whole week to be VERY busy.
get used to your pack yes, maybe train on a few hills and if you're not normally as active as some, try getting up every day early and going for a walk
book the first 2 to 3 places if you can. St Jean, Roncesvalles and maybe Zubiri or Larosoanna...
