In case anyone would like to see it. I thought it was a great photo of him and it was such a great night. I had stayed there back in 2006 and a young man showed up at dinner time in raggedy clothes and barefoot and was not speaking at all. Several of us, me included, were put off by the young...
I’m not a techie so I’m not sure what you mean by too small but I am working off my phone and probably have a larger copy on my computer at home. I can try sending it as a larger photo and see if that helps as well. Sorry if it doesn’t work out. It was such a nice experience.
I have been booking myself in several apartments where they use some app which allows me to scan my own passport in. Maybe they should look into something like that- it may make things go a little quicker? They don’t give me the key or the door code until they get the passport scan and a selfie.
Here’s what I can tell you. I am on the Camino now. All the beds were full in SJPP. All the beds were full in Borda and or Orisson. All the beds were full and Roncesvalles . All the beds were full in Zubiri. I’ve seen a lot of crying pilgrims because they have no place to sleep. In addition...
It’s like the wild West here right now - every night people are looking for beds and every night people are being turned away People are showing up without reservations and they’re being turned away in SJPP, Orrison, Borda, and Roncesvalles , and then Zubiri,
What should you do? If you can’t...
we are in Roncesvalles tonight and once again people are being turned away. No reservations, no beds. And none in Burguete. And tomorrow none in Zubiri.
I found two young Danish sisters and asked them to share my apt at Benificiados but they cannot find lodging for tomorrow.
I’m in SJPP right now. IT WAS COMPLETELY BOOKED YESTERDAY BY 2 PM AND today Roncesvalles is completely booked. If I were you, I would get online right now and book Roncesvalles and Zubiri. Even Pamplona was pretty full day before yesterday.
And when they arrive in Roncesvalles with no bed? People might want to stop telling people to ‘Just go! Don’t book ahead!’ It’s no longer good advice imo, at least on this bottleneck.
Also, they don’t make that info about the municipal building clear to all. We had several pilgrims stop by...
Yes. Some found a mat on the floor there (which can be more comfie than some of those old beds!). People here at Gite Compostella tried to book Roncesvalles for tomorrow (today now) and it was full.
