Hello all,

I will be walking part of the Camino Frances with some friends this coming July, and we will most likely arrive in Pamplona a couple of days after the end of San Fermin. I know accommodation is very difficult to come by during the festival, but I'm wondering if things get back to 'normal' immediately afterwards or will some albergues shut down for a few days afterwards to clean/repair/rest/whatever?

Thanks in advance,

Mark

It will be normal.
 
I walked through Pamplona three days after San Fermin once. Other than remnants of San Fermin souvenirs still in shops, it was business as usual and I stayed at the Jesus y Maria albergue.

I walked through Pamplona during San Fermín, and though I walked farther - to Cizur Menor, I knew pilgrims who were able to get beds at Casa Paderborn.
