Can you name this albergue?

Can I introduce you to a brilliant blog made by Pete Schloss? https://mediationkc.com/2021/07/10/part-10-friendships-with-little-in-common/
From there, you can go to Part 1, but first take a look at photos #22 and #23 from the start or #8 and #9 from the end. Can you tell me where this is? Pete can't remember. I think it would be in Larrasoaña, but I could be wrong.
Over to you; I'm sure you won't let me down.

 

[trecile]

I'm sorry, I'm really confused about which pictures you are referring to.
Can you copy the URL of the picture(s) and paste them into a post? You just right click on the picture then choose "copy image address."

Perhaps it's this one? https://i0.wp.com/mediationkc.com/w...d9174eaef2c86bb502f.jpg?resize=1024,768&ssl=1

 

[trecile]

Are those pictures of a bar/restaurant or an albergue?

 

[Ali@59]

I think photo number 14 down seems like the municipal albergue in Larrasoaña if I remember correctly

In the text below the picture it says that they spent the night in Zubiri.

 

[Anhalter]

If i counted correctly OP is talking about this Pic (and the next)

no idea where it is

edit: note to self, read carefully first, link to picture has already been posted...

Likely that this is the pic you are trying to match - PLUS the match from Gronze
‘Albergue Trinidad de Arre’

Yes, it seems like that's the picture that @Bert45 is trying to identify. The blog says that's where they stopped for lunch between Zubiri and Pamplona, so not necessarily an albergue.

I agree that this picture is definitely of that albergue, but the following pictures are of a lunch place.

@Kirkie posted this recently, on the Slow walks on the Baztan thread:

[Bert45]

I'm sorry to have caused so much confusion! My lack of computer skills prevented my posting the pictures themselves. When I clicked on them in Pete's blog, nothing happened, so I resorted to counting, first from the beginning, then, since it was over 20 and I didn't want my fellow pilgrims to have to go beyond their own fingers and toes, I counted from the end. Yes, trecile has identified the two photos correctly. (And so did Anhalter.) I had assumed it was an albergue. The long tables and benches seem to me to be albergue-like, rather than a restaurant, café, or bar. To be clear: #22 from the start is #9 from the end, and #23 from the start is #8 from the end. having sorted that out, all I need is a name or address.

 

[Kirkie]

There is a possibility the bar could be the now closed El Horno de Irotz. If so the sequence of the photos is a bit weird, so I could be totally wrong. The church in the previous photo could be the church in that tiny hamlet, just after the closed bar, and it is followed by the bridge at Irotz. The albergue at the end of the bridge in another photo is indeed Trinidad de Arre. Photos from internet.

 

[mspath]

Bingo!
That "wagon wheel" on the wall in Kirkie's photo can be seen on the wall in the downloaded video picture when you zoom in. Thanks Kirkie for your good detective work.

 

[WalkingPlaylist]

Yes, looks like the bar before Zubiri. As I recall they had a great tortilla...
edited - looked at my pictures but now can't remember if it's before or after, but it's in that area. I remember eating there, going to the bathroom, and the pretty view.

If it is before Zubiri, it is not the one I suggested.

I think Zubiri.

The alberge in Arre 5pm before Pamplona

 

[mspath]

The place shown inthe video and Kirkie's post with the wheel is El Horno de Irotz. See more

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

There is a possibility the bar could be the now closed El Horno de Irotz.

Sure looks like it. Google Maps has an entry for it. Besides the interactive maps there are photos and other information.

Yes, it is El Horno de Irotz. When seen from the Camino road, the seating area (first photo - top) is on the right side of the courtyard and the pizza oven and the serving counter (second photo - bottom) are on the left side. I remember it well. Alas, it rained the whole time and it was cold when we stopped there. Still, a good memory and a pity that it is closed now. It was apparently popular with the locals, too.

Google Maps says "Temporarily closed" so that may mean just for the season.

Oh, I don't pay any attention to Google's "Temporarily closed" tags.

I had remembered that people had posted in earlier threads that El Horno de Irotz had closed (like "years ago"), see for example:

It's a different wagon wheel on a different wall, but it is the right place.
Thanks, Kirkie.
The church in the "previous" photo (actually five photos previous to #22) is dedicated to San Esteban in Zubiri (if that's the photo you meant). Irotz comes after Zubiri, unless you are walking the camino in reverse.

Glad you now have the name of the spot. I know the area somewhat, as I am generally on duty for a couple of weeks in Zabaldika during the summer and escape in the early mornings for a walk around! My understanding is the bar is closed. As in, closed. Never say never...but do keep your swimming togs handy for a swim when you reach the bridge in Irotz.

I also remember this place clearly. The first time I stopped here was in late Sept 2011. It was more modest than the photos above, but thé pizza oven was there. The second time was on 3 April 2013 - they had expanded with more seating and more on offer. I recall showing the owners a photo of my previous visit and discussing (in tortuous Spanglish on my part) the transformation. Fond memories of both visits.

My question has been answered. You (and one or two others) have miscounted.

Over to you; I'm sure you won't let me down.

The Albergue in the first picture is the one in Roncesvalles. If you look closely you can see "Albergue de Roncesvalles" on the sign next to the door.

 

[Bert45]

1. It's not the first picture. 2. You don't have to look closely to see the name. 3. It's not the albergue I was asking the name of.
Btw, it turned out that the place I was looking for was not an albergue.
