Over the last couple of weeks I've attempted to contact every albergue on the Camino Francés to ask them if they're open. I've compiled the result into a list, the results of which you can see here: http://www.caminoguide.net/pages/updates~IVAR

The good news is that most of them are open although they're only allowed accept 30% to 50% of normal capacity in shared dorms.

I hope this will be of use to some of you.

Personally, I'm heading to Pamplona on Tuesday and will start walking on Wednesday morning. Really looking forward to it! Apart from a quick two week walk on the Vía de la Plata last year this will be my first Camino in close to two years.

If anyone spots any mistakes please let me know and I'll correct it. I won't be on the internet much from Monday for a few weeks so email please to caminoguidecontact@gmail.com

You made contact with all on that list??!!
Mate, you’re a champion.
Respect!!

I wish I could come along and make good use of your marvellous list but unfortunately we’re locked in a golden cage here in Australia. We’ll be doing well if we can get out early next year.
So, lucky you Gerald. I hope you have a great time. Being the Camino Frances, I’m sure you will.
Thanks for sharing your list. Tops!
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Doesn’t matter. You’ve got the job. 😊

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
