Camino de Norte - many Albergues seem to be closed in September

[catherinewp]

Does anyone know of a comprehensive list of municipal albergues on the Camino de Norte? We are in Guernica and the albergue is closed already. There are still many pilgrims coming through! Beds appear to be full this evening.

www.gronze.com is probably your best available resource

That albergue hasn’t been open since the onset of the pandemic

Thank you @Tincatinker and @WalkingLester

My experience has been that they are open untill at least mid October but check the Wise Pilgrim app or Gronze as mentioned above.

I would also include the Buen Camino app. It is free like Wise Pilgrim. No one source has every accommodation listed. If you are having issues the more the better. Also call ahead if you can to verify openings. Although I would imagine if an albergue is listed as open I would think in September and early October it would be open.

We found this to be true on the Norte in September of 2018 also. We actually had to taxi forward out of Gernika to the next albergue. The Norte towns and cities caters to summer tourists and lots of albergues are not pilgrim only. It seemed to level out as we went forward. Good luck!
