st. Jean

[Eric1985]

Hi. Just wondering is it a must to book accommodation in st. Jean to stay the night before I start my camino or would it be safe enough to get a place on arrival.

That really depends on the month and time of the day of your arrival SY

Most people will tell you to book ahead, it all depends on what time of the year and what time of day you are arriving. If you provide those details you will get a plethora of suggestions.

It will be either 27th or 28th of may which would be a Wednesday or Thursday

Eric...May/June begins the tide increase on the Camino. Booking ahead is a solid option. If there are changes in your plans, you can always cancel/change the booking.

Here are two sites:

and Booking.com

Check them out.

Buen Camino,

Eric,

Of course you will travel more relaxed if you do have a reservation for lodging in SJPdP.
However, if you arrive without one the helpful volunteers who run the Pilgrim office of the Amis du Chemin de Saint Jacques at 39 rue de la Citadelle can provide you with both a Credential and on site lodging assistance. They keep up to the minute lists of available space throughout the SJPdP area. Their office is open every day of the year from early morning to late at night.

Buen camino,

Margaret Meredith

Hi Eric -- I will arrive in Madrid on May 28 and have made reservations in Pamplona, St. Jean and Orrison -- just so I won't have to add lodging to my "to do" list while jet lagged and transitioning to my Camino
May see you walking!
Buen Camino

Personally, I would book ahead both in SJPP and Orisson.
