[June 2018] Agree with you about Lantz @NualaOC, the walk from Boerreta is gorgeous. Uphill but mostly through forest and heavenly. And we had the same experience in Lantz re asking about eating out, the shopkeeper told me there was nowhere. But having read your forum posts I got up the hotel...
[June 2018] In Espelette we stayed with the wonderfully named Andy Le Sauce - he's a visual artist (aka Andy Le Bleu) and the ground floor area is also a gallery. A v interesting host https://andylesauce.wordpress.com/ The following day we walked to Urdax but there is no shop there and we really...
Hi @NualaOC, we're back from the Balzan and to such an unexpected Irish heatwave! It was a terrific experience, and I would love to do it again sometime. Pamplona was a bit overwhelming after the peace and quiet and beauty of the Balzan route. Once, in Lantz, we had the albergue to ourselves and...
Thank you @peregrina2000 - am checking that out right now. We're going for two weeks, so will continue on from Pamplona - not sure yet where we might finish. Really looking forward to it.

@Katharina I had no idea we would need to book accommodation at Roncesvalles -we will arrive at SJPDP on Tues next 13th and plan to walk to Roncesvalles on Wed 14th. Would it be wise to book then? Buen Camino
Thanks @Melensdad - I agree completely with you about my Lowe Alpine! I am about to make a decision and will post here the outcome of all the advice I received to my query. I will update shortly and thanks to you all.
I hope today has been a wonderful experience and that you are well and truly on your Way! We will be following in your footsteps in two weeks time ;-) Buen Camino
