If it is seems to be too challenging to go Napoleon Route then look into Valcarlos.
One way or another, if the weather cooperates start early and just take it slow with plenty of rest stops. You now have a bed in Roncesvalles so you don't have to race
Enough to take couple of hours.
Distance wise.... I think about 3km... Don't recall for sure
My friends decided to skip it today. Apparently the lady had a nasty fall when we walked in 22 so today with its being wet and muddy they chose to take a taxi
Hello @PilgrimRoberto
Usually the general advice is to book as far as Pamplona but you might wish to go farther given latest developments.
As far as donations go we are of the mind that a donativo should reasonably equal any private accommodation; so say roughly €15 for a bunk and another...
@Petsu - I love Barca but I am fully aware of all the happenings. Couple of times had 'close calls' on La Ramblas but they had wrong customer in me. One time it was the good ole "sir I think you dropped something" gig ...and this actually was on Mall des Drassanes not La Ramblas per se... I just...
By All means - the advice to get it at MundiCamino is the best option. I merely put the info forth about Decathlon transportation so folks do know there is an option to not hoof it up just in case they might want to get something (else) from it
when life serves you lemons - learn to make Lemon cerveza and sell it to the Pilgrims 🤣
seriously - i've mentioned this numerous times as of late with all these "no beds" threads. If anything we - the US folks - spend so much $$$ getting to Camino if you are faced with the situation of no beds...
Just FYI - re: Decatlon. There is a free bus that is going there from the plaza next to El Cid
goes every 30 mins and it IS absolutely free both directions

Like my Mom said when I told her I am off on a Pilgrimage in Spain - "You Will Suffer!"
I honestly do n ot know how badly it eroded since 2019 but in 2022 it was no picnic either...
Good Luck to All the Pilgrims who currently approaching that stretch. Be vigilant, be careful, take your time...
In the context of the topic I dont think it matters if your phone is $2000, $10000 or $100 - simply do not leave it in view of others.
The cynical me has little faith in these things. What we have to remember is that "we" (the law-abiding citizens of Camino) and the likes of us unfortunately...
This is not the first time the subject is brought up. Whether we all like it or not - there is a so-called geay area and there is no "proper" solution.
I snore and yes the first thing I've done is told folks (esp. those in bunks close to mine) that I do snore. But on a larger sense - so what? So...
I'm sorry but that proved to be the first thing that 'fails'.
Not all places work with Booking.com and not all places that do - release ALL the beds to them
