Bonjour! I'll be in SJPdP mid-day on March 17th. After looking carefully at all of the albergues that I bookmarked, it turns out that none of them are open yet! If I understand correctly, I can't stay at municipal albergues unless I walked, but I'll be arriving in SJPdP by train. Any suggestions for inexpensive accommodations?
I leave for my Camino in 29 days!!!

I arrived to SJPDP in mid afternoon (1600) in late June 2013. I walked straight to the Pilgrims office and got checked in and my credential stamped, and was asked if I would like a bed in in the Municipal Albergue for €8 including breakfast, I paid him on the spot and he walked me up the street to the Albergue to show me to my bed.
Don't worry about reserving a bed in SJPDP, you're getting there at a good time.
You lucked out, Bajaracer. When my friend and I arrived on June 1st the municipal albergue was full
.
What time did you arrive to the Pilgrims office? I took the 1400 bus from Pamplona on 23 June 2013 and got to SJPDP at around 1545-1600, the Municipal Albergue ran out of beds after 1700, maybe I was lucky.

Thanks for the information.The Pilgrim Office stays open until after the last train, so head straight there on arrival. They will put you in the albergue or help you find a place for the night. In March it won't be very busy.
There are no reservations and no seat assignments on the train to SJPdP. Standing and bicycles are permitted. I don't think anyone is ever left behind. Remember that even in the busy season, only a couple hundred pilgrims start in SJPdP, and they probably could all be fit on one train. It is not a long ride, about an hour, so standing is not terribly uncomfortable, especially considering you will be spending a month on your feet soon after disembarking!Does the Bayonne-SJPP train have to be booked in advance in mid-March?
As I am arriving in SJPdP after 7 in the evening is it possible to spend two nights at an albergue or must I leave the next morning.
