So Zenarruza is open? It was my favorite on the Norte (for ambiance not luxury but I hear it’s been improved). I know everyone says Guermes but I hated that one, even more than the hostel in Guernica.My first Camino.
On night 5 and have the next three nights booked already so giving some feedback.
Obviously with municipal albergues closed there is less choice, and whilst the 'see where I end up' approach might work I'm not inclined to chance it. 15 - 18 miles a day does me so I'm simply looking ahead to where that mileage takes me and seeing what's available to book.
Other than popular tourist towns where I paid through the nose for hotels, Irun and Zauratz I'm looking at you, I'm not having any great problems finding albergues or hostels at reasonable (in the circumstances) prices.
San Sebastian, room in the city hostel 32 euros
izarbide aterpetxea 32 euros with dinner and breakfast
Zenarruza monastery ( where I am writing from) donation. You also get a plate of food for dinner and something for breakfast.
Albergue Pozueta, booked for tomorrow, 14 euros for a bed, 10 euros for dinner and 4 for breakfast if you want them.
I'm generally booking in the evening for the next night, but as I'm not far from Bilbao and was concerned about city hotel costs I looked into what was available and booked two nights bed and breakfast at the All Iron Hostel, 16 euros a night. Going to have a day off there.
I guess the point is that, certainly for the first week, I'm generally managing to find Albergues and hostels available.
that is a good deal enjoy fellow Pilgrim take me with you in thought, next year for me being my 12 th.My first Camino.

Looks like Room in the City in San Sebastian has kept their prices pretty steady. I stayed there for about 23 Euros in 2018 and it was October. So given it is 3 years later and high season that price sounds about right to me. It was a very nice hostel.My first Camino.

sounds like you’ve figured out housing! Not an easy feat on the Norte at high season during a pandemic.
Buen Camino!

When I walked the Camino in 2017 I thought 30 euros a day for a bed, a meal and some breakfast was good value for money. So over four years later and with the effects of COVID, to still find costs are similar is amazing! Stay safe!My first Camino.

You needed proof of vaccination to get into Spain? Is that a new rule? Doesn’t a PCR suffice?Obviously I needed proof of vaccination to get into Spain, but now I'm here nowhere has asked to see anything.
Plenty open and available as of last week!I am walking Norte starting Aug 13....any info is great. How are the resources along the way? Cafes? restaurants, etd
Besides various threads here on the board, you can look at Gronze.com, and you can get guidebooks...we got 2 and worked with Gronze too before we left.I am walking Norte starting Aug 13....any info is great. How are the resources along the way? Cafes? restaurants, etd
Hi thanks for your post. I’m planning to start the Camino early September from St Jean. My thought has been to book accommodation for the whole walk due to perhaps limited availability but looking at your post this looks like it may not be necessary? I have a fairly fixed view of my itinerary so would you suggest I push ahead and book everything or can I take a chance on availability whilst I’m walking? Any tips welcome.My first Camino.

Thanks for sharing. We are planning our Camino in October.Obviously I needed proof of vaccination to get into Spain, but now I'm here nowhere has asked to see anything.
Are you sure about this? I though my a PCR sufficed?Thanks for sharing. We are planning our Camino in October.
I needed proof of my vaccination as I'm vaccinated, pcr if not. Though why anyone isn't vaccinated by this stage is another question.Are you sure about this? I though my a PCR sufficed?

I’m confused, and I know things are constantly changing, but are people here talking about getting INTO Spain?Are you sure about this? I though my a PCR sufficed
UK travellers can certainly enter without proof of vaccine. A PCR will suffice.I’m confused, and I know things are constantly changing, but are people here talking about getting INTO Spain?
I thought that the requirements were changed in late June to allow entry to anyone, with or without proof of vaccination or test results. Or is this only for US citizens?
US Travellers Now Can Enter Spain Even If They Are Not Vaccinated
The Spanish authorities have announced that travellers from the US will now be able to enter the country without being subject to the testing and quarantine requirements, regardless of their vaccination status. Effective immediately, the new measure applies to all US citizens who do not visit...www.schengenvisainfo.com
It is only for US citizens and citizens from 22 other non-EU countries who travel from the USA and from one of these 22 countries directly to Spain. They currently do not need to be vaccinated and they do not need to be tested. The UK is currently not among these 22 countries but was once among them.I thought that the requirements were changed in late June to allow entry to anyone, with or without proof of vaccination or test results. Or is this only for US citizens?
