Left Saint Jean this morning at 7am. Got to Roncesvalles just before 1:30. Weather was clear and beautiful!
I didn't pre book, and was able to get a bed. I did hear they were all full by 4pm though.
Very happy with my first day on the Camino!
Too late for the OP, but, if I was you, I wouldn't start from there. There are only two trains westward from Ponferrada each day, one at 06:15, which you have already missed, taking 4h 18m to SdC, including a bus service between Monforte de Lemos...
There are buses. It's 200 km and takes four hours. The next (and last for your flight) leaves in fifteen minutes. Next time maybe you should do your research the day before?
