Starting in San Sebastián

Hello!

We are planning on starting our Camino from San Sebastián around May 12th and I am wondering where we can pick up a Camino Passport when we get there. Is it better to order online or will we find them easily enough in town?

Also, any tips for places to stay our first night before setting off from San Sebastián?

THanks

Todd

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Order one from the forum shop and you will have it in hand when you get there.
Albergues and some churches sometimes have them...but could very easily be out when you are there.
It may be a few days later before you can find one and would miss out on stamps for the first days.
 
What type of accommodation are you seeking? A pilgrim-style dorm set-up or a private room? If the former, I highly recommend a Room in the City- clean, well-equipped and centrally located to the many great shops and restaurants in SS. If a private room, I would look on booking.com.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
