    No rooms available mid Sept in Roncesvalles, any suggestions?

    This is the site to book a bed in the large (only) albergue in Roncesvalles. https://alberguederoncesvalles.com/en/book-your-bed/

    No rooms available mid Sept in Roncesvalles, any suggestions?

    If nothing is available in Roncesvalles, you can try Burguete which is less than 3 km past Roncesvalles. Gronze.com is a great source of information for albergues and other accommodations on the Camino. They have contact information to contact the properties directly...

    Walking barefoot across Puente la Reina

    Just today an Italian pilgrim told me and my walking partners that we should walk barefoot across the bridge. I didn't hear the part about walking on the rough stones, so being sensible I walked on the smooth stones.

    Hotel Torre de Núñez

    I would suggest that you cross reference any place that you find on Google, booking.com or another source with Gronze, which only shows accommodations on or near the Camino. Here's the Gronze listings for Ferreiros: https://www.gronze.com/galicia/lugo/ferreiros

    Poncho - Leon?

    The smaller Decathlon "City" stores don't have nearly as many products as the larger stores, so that could have been the issue. You can use the Decathlon website to check the availability of a product at a particular store. It's also useful to take a screenshot of the product to show the...

    How many left Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port on 1 May?

    I did quote the part from the other post where they say that the statistics are gathered when people receive their Compostelas in Santiago.

    Beds in First Stage Albergues - Current Situation, late May 2024

    The bottleneck does exist, but not every day. The problem is knowing which days it exists and which days it doesn't! Knowing when holidays occur in Spain can help.

    How many left Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port on 1 May?

    @StDenis said that the SJPdP data comes from the office in Santiago when pilgrims receive their credentials, but the Pilgrim Office in SJPdP has their own records of how many pilgrims leave from their each month, whether they reach Santiago or not. For example, the SJPdP Pilgrim Office released...

    How many left Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port on 1 May?

    I think that the office in SJPdP compiles their own statistics.

    How many left Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port on 1 May?

    The Pilgrims Office in SJPdP doesn't usually publish daily statistics, but if you are on Facebook you can ask on their page: https://m.facebook.com/groups/818222641542543/

    Sunday/Monday Shopping in SJPdP

    You can stop for lunch at Orisson, which is about 8km from SJPdP. You can also ask them if they will make you a sandwich to go.

    Plastic Storage Bins in Santiago???

    I think that the cost of storage and shipping it to Santiago will be many times what the bin is worth.

    Plastic Storage Bins in Santiago???

    The Frakta bags no longer seem to be available from IKEA any more (at least not in the US).

    Plastic Storage Bins in Santiago???

    If you live near an IKEA this bag should do. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/goersnygg-bag-blue-60499261/

    Feeling alone and anxious

    They were talking about both albergues and private rooms.

    Help with accommodation on Camino Francés

    If you can't get a place at either Borda or Orisson you can book two nights in SJPdP and use Express Bourricot's Mountain Shuttle, which must be booked in advance. https://www.expressbourricot.com/passengers-transport/

    Help with accommodation on Camino Francés

    Definitely not too early for either. You should also look at Auberge Borda instead of Orisson. I haven't had a chance to stay there, but it looks nicer than Orisson. https://www.aubergeborda.com/

    Feeling alone and anxious

    I read a thread on a Camino Facebook group, and people seemed surprised that they needed to bring bedding! I don't know where they are getting their information from. Actually I do - from FB groups, and not from this forum!
