We used cycling-rentals 2 years ago, like someone mentioned Didi was very helpful. We had the bikes delivered to Roncesvalles and picked up in SdC no problem
I used Cycling Rentals a number of years ago. Walked SJPdP to Pamplona, had bike and accessories delivered to my hotel in Pamplona. Dropped the bike off at a bike shop
in SdC at the end of my ride. It was seamless.

I hope we don’t start down this line of conversation. There are many women of a wide range of ages, myself included, who relish walking alone and have decided that the risk-reward calculus highly tips on the side of walking alone. For those who...
I just realized I didn't actually answer your question. When I stayed at the monastery I was able to email them and book a room. I see why you are asking and are a little concerned. One option would be to see if there is a taxi option that will...
I stayed in Combarro and then hiked up to Armentiera and stayed at the monastery the next day. I loved that I stayed at both!
