Any suggestions on where to stay in SJPP on or around May 16, 17 and 18. We tried L'Esprit du Chemin, but they're fully booked.

I stayed at this place http://www.ultreia64.fr/en/ last year and it was fine. So much so that I'm staying there again this year.

Here are three separate listings from the SJPdP Office de Tourisme for
pilgrim albergues, hotels and chambres d'hotes in SJPdP itself.

Gite Compostella is clean and convenient.

 

[pilgrimadam]

Pilgrimadam, I'll be at the Auberge du Pelerin' on May 17. It's just up the road from, but close by, the Pilgrim's Office and the L'esprit du Chemin
http://www.aubergedupelerin.com/. Hope to see you on the Way. Buen Camino

Is It advisable to book ahead for SJPDP? for I was going to start as I mean to go and just turn up and hope for a bed, I arrive about 17.00hrs 28/4. Should I start to be worried with only 14 days before I arrive...

You can always 'wing it". When you arrive go to the Pilgrims' office of the Amis du Chemin de Saint Jacques at 39 rue de la Citadelle. They can provide you with a Credential and on site lodging assistance. Their telephone is 05 59 37 05 09. In season the pilgrims office is open from 7h30 to 12h30 and then from 13h30 to 22h. They keep up to the minute lists of ALL available space throughout the SJPdP area, both pilgrim albergues as well as tourist accommodation.

I would think you should be fine this early in the season to just arrive.

I should think so, too. But since "everybody" arrives at the same place to start, I have decided to reserve a bed in SJ and Orrison, just to clear out these issues. After that, what happens, happens.

oh thanks everyone, oh I think i will wing it then, makes it bit more of an adventure going into the unknown..

I just booked us into Gite. L'esprit du Chemin was booked for the night we needed. I did not pay for the breakfast because I was hoping I could get a breakfast somewhere with some protein to help for the days walk. Any suggestions for breakfast in SJPP before heading out. Also, any suggestions for dinner the night before?

For lunch or dinner Chez DeDe at 3 rue de France is quite ok. It is near the Pilgrim Office at 39 rue de la Citadelle and often suggested by them. The place also appears in the movie The Way. I have eaten here many times over the years; the food is good and the prices very reasonable. .
