    Need Help / Advice on Accommodation in San Sebastian and Northern Route

    Good idea. @unaharty may have to limit the gastronomy in San Sebastián to lunch.

    Need Help / Advice on Accommodation in San Sebastian and Northern Route

    ...only list a few rooms and often only the pricier ones, and then release a few other rooms closer to the time. A telephone/Whatsapp call may find better rates. I have found a number of hostel rooms in Saint Sebastian in the 30euro range for early July. But there's no way out-- the north...

    Need Help / Advice on Accommodation in San Sebastian and Northern Route

    ...You could try ‘befriending ‘ other peregrino/as; you are walking with and book something like an apartment or a pension (for 4 ) or ??? It may seem a bigger total but split a number of ways - it is sometimes comparable to an albergue bunk. I did this on the Portuguese last November …. 4...

    Need Help / Advice on Accommodation in San Sebastian and Northern Route

    Thanks Trecile. It seems like I may have to pay upwards of €150 for one night in San Sebastian which blows my budget completely! I have checked with all local albergues to see if they are holding any spaces for walk-ins and no joy! Even the municipal is booked out! Whatever happened to...

    Albergue Tu Camino, Ontón: closed at the moment

    ...text. The uncertainty about it caused some consternation among the pilgrims today, especially since someone posted a review in the Wise Pilgrim app on the 8th. Not sure how long it will be closed. Best alternatives may be: -Pobeña -Santullán -Castro Urdiales (albergue is quite small) Buen...

    Can the Camino del Norte be as Magical as the Frances and Portuguese Routes for a first timer?

    ...and I don't regret it, in fact I'm going back next year to complete a section in the middle I had to skip due to time constraints. However, for the situation you are describing, it may be better to choose another route. Primitivo sounds good, but I haven't done it (yet), so cannot recommend.

    Walking from Santander to Gijon commencing 18 June but worried about accommodation...

    ...is concerned, I've never had a problem but the last time I was on it was June 2022. Here in The Netherlands the weather has also been horrendous for weeks on end. May went down in history as the wettest month and more rain fell during 2 days than the average for a whole month of May.

    Itinerary opinion

    That seems like the most important thing. The scenery was secondary. Did they get satisfaction and joy from the experience? Yes, that may be, but nobody asked me to make suggestions. The "itinerary/plan" for a pilgrimage may be quite different from that of a vacation. Perhaps the hardships...

    How to explore Basque Coast (Bayonne, Anglet, Biarritz, Saint Jean de Luz, Hendaye stretch) before Irun?

    I agree with It56ny completely on these albergues/gites. Jean-Luc’s place in Guethary was really nice. It is small and clean and included laundry and nice showers. Food in France was way better. We had a great, reasonably priced, dinner at heteroclito.fr in Guethary. St. Jean de Luz also a...

    ...staying at Camino de la Costa Albergue. They don't take bookings and definitely no english but I had no trouble getting a bed and others here too. Make sure you arrive b4 2pm.

    LIVE from the Camino Starting in Bilbao - a six week Camino

    Thank you so much! I only had a liner, but a thermal one. I think it is from Sea to summit, the red one. I have been cold some nights. I had had the same one on the Frances and Portuguese. And at that time I was fine. So I don’t dare say…. And June is warmer.

    LIVE from the Camino Starting in Bilbao - a six week Camino

    ...I have walked two different stretches on the Frances in the past and next week I am setting out from Bilbao. The previous times have been early May and mid October, where I have carried a sleeoping bag. Given that it will be June this time I am thinking about just a liner. Do you have any...

    current (May 2024) status of albergue bed availability on CDN

    I'm in Bilbao and the albergue in Lezama is closed until the 31 of May and only 11 beds in Larrabetzu, so I saw a few taking the train to Bilbao

    Interesting places to stay over night on the Camino Del Norte

    ...best cultural experiences which makes them worth staying another day. Please don’t post it’s an individual experience etc I would love to know what you think. Iam planning a trip in 2025 for May and June to do the full Northern experience and I would love your help in planning this experience.

    Prices on Gronze for rooms

    ...and frequencies? Not sure if these establishments push (update) their prices to Gronze. Supply and demand influences prices. Such “economic forces” also apply to large operations” too. Many “small” hotels/Albergue prefer to deal with customers directly and may offer better prices.

    Prices on Gronze for rooms

    ...likely prospect, but if you have gone down to one step from purchase, clicked away, you are a ‘hot prospect’, and they are ‘coming back to get you’. You are more likely to ‘convert’ and it’s cheaper! Hence my question which may have seemed a strange one as I didn’t explain why I had asked it!

    Prices on Gronze for rooms

    Initially, the prices were the same, so I booked direct. But I guess that they had rooms to fill and released them at a lower price on booking. The crazy thing is this was a busy time - late May in the last 100 km on the Camino Francés!

    Norte Mountain Route - Soto to Cadevedo

    ...future, but in my experience, it almost never rains all day. I personally would not and have not adjusted my plans because of predictions which may or may not be accurate. More often than not the forecast shows some rain every day, and over the 10 or so weeks I've walked the Camino (Frances...
