There is a difference between an alburge and a hostel. Alburges are set up for pilgrims. One night stay, mandatory check out early, pilgrims only, and no one is essentially carrying anything valuable. Hostels can have a varied cliential, some dubious. Multiple night stays are typical so you can have a individuals who's means are unknown. Never saw a padlock in an alburge. Padlocks are encouraged in hostels.Hi everyone, my husband and I are walking the Camino Frances in April 2022. we will start in SJPDP, but thought of catching a train to Barcelona from Pamplona for a few days and then returning to Pamplona to continue to Santiago. Are there albergues in Barcelona? Can we use our Camino Passports to stay in one?
Thanks!
Ten to Go hostel is about 100m from Barcelona Sants. Very comfortable. Not an albergue but many pilgrims stay there.Hi everyone, my husband and I are walking the Camino Frances in April 2022. we will start in SJPDP, but thought of catching a train to Barcelona from Pamplona for a few days and then returning to Pamplona to continue to Santiago.

That may once have been true but the distinction is not so cut and dried right now. Some albergues allow more than one night's stay, not all have a mandatory early check out (in fact, some prohibit leaving too early), some private albergues are not exclusively for pilgrims. Where once it was binary, now it is a spectrum.There is a difference between an alburge and a hostel. Alburges are set up for pilgrims.

do you have to have a contiguous journey? so many people bus from Burgos to Leon and then walk on.
You may have difficulty evidencing a contiguous journey
I will do this. thanks!If you load the Hostelworld app on to your device you can see that there are plenty of hostels in Barcelona and you should be able to find something suitable and economical.
To claim a compostella you need to evidence a contiguous journey of the last 100km into Santiago. Claiming a Certificate of Distance might get a bit confusing if you've bused bits or done some flitting about. Though with the correct sequence of sellos on your credencial there should be no problem I think I would avoid getting a sello from Barcelona in-between ones from Pamplona and Puenta la Reinado you have to have a contiguous journey? so many people bus from Burgos to Leon and then walk on.
