    SJPP Accommodation

    Lodging in SJPP + initial stages?

    i personally would always reserve in Saint Jean and Roncesvalles. Reserving gives you the opportunity to experience the albergue Beilari in Saint jean. Highly recommended.

    Too bad you didn’t book at the albergue Beilari. They serve all vegetarian meals. Sometimes it is possible to reserve for dinner without staying there. check into it at www.Beilari.info

    Albergue with no Electricity

    Beilari evening meal
