a place to stay in Gerendiain

[happymarkos]

I plan to break the journey between Roncesvalles and Larrasoana to make sure I can have enough time to recover from the Walk from St Jean to Roncesvalles in late April.
It seems that Gerendiain would be a good break before heading on to Larrasona next day.
I am having difficulty trying to identify a place to stay for one person for one night. The casa rurals are for large groups and I can't find anything about the Refugio Sorogain on the web site or any reviews or alternatives.
Can anyone please help
thanks

Most people stay in Zubiri. The El Palo has alburgue as well as private rooms and is very nice.
There is a Casa Rural in Viskarret... La Posada Nueva.
I have never heard of Gerendiain...

Hi Anniesantiago
I am looking at John Brierley's book on page 58 and it refers to Gerendiain and has after that in italics Viskattet/Biskarreta and describes it as an ancient hamlet etc.
Zubriri is another 10km so I was hoping to have an easy day after crossing from France.
Correct me if I am wrong but I thought the Casa Rural was a large home which is let to a family or group.
all further help welcome

No, you can often rent a single or double room in a Casa Rural.
And the nice thing is that you can reserve the rooms ahead.

Last October I stayed at La Posada Nueva due to a heavy rainstorm which would have made continuing the camino descent from Roncevalles to Zubiri slick, muddy and dangerous. La Posada Nueva was comfortable, well HEATED, and offered a delicious evening meal. This was an unexpected but good stop.

I concur with Margaret - a very nice place. And the homecooked dinner was very good, too. They also serve a good breakfast (even ask you what time you will be coming down to have it )

Hi, we stayed in Casa rural Adi-Lastur in Biskarreta, it's on the right as you enter the village. Lovely people, so kind and welcoming. Cooked us a lovely dinner. It was early September, we were the only ones there, and didn't need to book. It's new, so not in the guide books. Tel 948 790 421

For various reasons I won't go into, we were unable to make it to Zubiri that day, so it made a perfect stop, and we arrived early in Zubiri the next day, so got beds in the albergue there , no problem.
Buen camino

My son and I stayed at La Posada Neuva last fall as did three other people we met along the way. We all found the rooms clean and comfortable. The evening meal was good, but there is a bar if you want a less expensive meal as well as a good grocery store for purchasing your own food. We had decided to stay there for the reason you suggest: a less stressful day after the walk to Roncevalles. It was a good decision since the walk down into Zubiri is very steep over a very rocky path requiring good concentration.

Buen Camino

I forgot to mention that locals told us that the Refugio Sorogain in Viskarret had closed.

Thank you for all the information, I now feel confident about planning to stay there.
By the way do many Spanish villages have so many different names.?
Thanks again
Happy Mark

I believe the multiple names for one town arise largely in the Basque country--one name in Spanish, another in Basque. Later on, watch out for all the towns named Villafranca + something. Another potential source of confusion.

I stayed at La Posada Nueva and found it a great between stages, a comfy place to stay. I shared a twin room with another pilgrim.

As I understand from their price list it is only to rent the whole house.

Hi, I was a first guest at a new place in Gerendian in April this year. A wonderful young couple run the place? Absolutely new, beautifully clean. The cost was 18 euro for a double room and breakfast. They also provided an evening meal at minimal cost?
Details for you are:
Pension Corazon Puro

Telephone +34 948 392 113

Buen Camino.
Ps if you go say hello from the two Australians who were their first guests.

I also stayed at "Corazon Puro" and loved it. From there it is about 13 miles to Zabladika albergue with the Sisters of the Sacred Heart, (you pass Zubiri and Larrasoana) & I also highly recommend that. In fact it was recommended to me by the owners of Corazon Puro!

Hi marbuck,
I believe it was 30 euros for a double room, and 10 euros for the meal.
Buen camino,
