I avoided the ugly pipeline .Exiting Mogro station you walk to the main road ,then cross the road ,turn right and then first left on to a road which climbs slightly.You will pass a church on your left hand side and to the right you will see the Camino arrows.I ignored the right turn and...
Hi Anne I checked out the Gronze Website for the Camino del Norte and it shows that the albergue is open.Gronze is a very reliable website.
Buen Camino
Good Morning Vaughan
I have taken the ferry but not as a pilgrim.On my way back from Santiago I stayed in Hendaye .I have walked the Norte several times and always passed through Irun.
As a tourist I wanted to see Hondarribia and I walked along the beach in Hendaye to the ferry which is at the...

Welcome to the forum Yann .The link above will take you to the Gronze website which is an excellent source of information on the del Norte.

I have used...
Sherryd,All the information that you are looking for is on the gronze web site under the section gronze camino del norte.In the section Vilalba to Santiago you will see that there are albergues all along this section of the camino.I have walked this camino several times .I also volunteered in...
I am currently walking the Camino del Norte.I walked today from San Sébastien to Getaria.I checked the Gronze web site for accommodation in Getaria and then googled Hostels Getaria and found Txalupa Hostel.It has only been opened one month and is connected to one of the hôtels here .It has...
The spanish web site gronze lists accommodation in Larrabetsu and Lezama.
It shows an albergue in Larrabetsu and also in Lezama.I have stayed in the Lezama albergue which was fine.The gronze site also lists an hôtel and one other accommodation in Lezama .You should take a look at the...
Hi Tom,there is a new ,much larger albergue
municipal in Irun.It is listed on the Gronze web site and there is a map which shows where it is now situated.There was a posting about this some weeks ago.I don't know if you are aware of this?It only opened recently and I assume it replaces...
The municipal albergue at the railway station in Deba has 56 places according to their web site.I stayed there last year and it was very good.On arrival at Deba go to the Tourist Office.You must register there ,pay the fee before you go to the albergue.You cannot reserve in advance.Check...
Agree with Trecile.Have walked Norte 3 times and used,the gronze web site ,which is always bang up to date ,for all accommodation and I love the maps which show the distances between each village or town along the way.
I heard on an Irish radio station that a pilgrim hostal was charging 600 euro for one night in a dormitory over the rugby match period..Maybe it would be a good idea to avoid Bilbao. Check the Gronze web site Camino del Norte for alternative places to stay.
It's the European Champions Cup.Leinster is playing Racing.Bilbao will be filled with Irish and French supporters.Bilbao is a very lively
city and even more so with all the rugby fans.Being Irish you can guess which team I am supporting..
Last October I walked from Baamonde to Sobrado but I chose the route through Miraz.However a young German pilgrim who I met up with again in Sobrado did take the alternative route and told me he passed through tiny villages with no amenities.The other aspect of taking this shorter route and...
