This looks like a fab place to stop at for us, as we have made a reservation at the Corazon Puro in Bizcarreta in July for our first night and were looking at a 27 km hike to Arre / Villava the next day. This makes the day look much better at about 22 km.

This is one place that's not to be missed if you can stop there. New, lovely, and absolutely wonderful people run it. We pushed ourselves too hard to make it here but in the end it was worth it. Fantastic dinner and a small service after if you want to attend. Breakfast in the morning. Wonderful.

I would be walking from Ronceville that morning and wonder how difficult is the walk. Also is the albergue far off the camino route to Pamplona?

The albergue at Zabaldika is on a short marked path which mounts from the north side of the N135 roadway. From Roncesvalles to the Alto de Erro the camino path through the wood is fine. From Alto de Erro down to Zubiri the path is steep and on shale in places which are very slippery in bad weather. From Zubiri to Zabildika the camino path through the wood parallels the Arga river and the N135 roadway .

Roncesvalles to Zubiri is roughly 23 km; Zubiri to Zalbadika is roughly another 11 km.
