Many thanks for your advice.If you are planning to spend more than one night in SJPdP, and you want to get some rest, I highly recommend getting a private room - at least for the first night. There is a nervous energy that permeates the albergues as people anticipate the next days departure. Pilgrims are rising at 4am or earlier to get a start on the day. At 8pm (your arrival) some will already be in bed, and it would hard to settle into a dorm without bothering them.
Buen Camino!
Make sure you arrive early enough. My bus arrived last year around 10 pm and myself and two others ended up sleeping in the campground. They loaned me a tarp and I wrapped up in that and my blanket. It was a very cold night in early May!I will be arriving around 8pm and thought a hotel might be best for first couple nights so I can relax and see something of St Jean before I start walking the Camino. I’m a bit concerned about the cost of a hotel and would welcome suggestions. Many thanks
Thanks I’m in my 60’s too and but will probsbly arrive after Tourist info closed do will need to get passport and list of accommodation early next morning. What time fix you leave St Jean?Hi Meindl, We arrived early afternoon in Saint Jean, soaked up the atmosphere for few hours, had pre-booked Htl Ramuntcho (en-suite), up early next morning and walked all the way to Roncesvalles - think its a waste of a day (and money!) to stay 2nd night in Saint Jean as is a night in Orisson. If you are reasonably fit then the walk to Roncesvalles should be no problem - both of us in our 60's!
Pilgrim office open untill 8pmThanks I’m in my 60’s too and but will probsbly arrive after Tourist info closed do will need to get passport and list of accommodation early next morning. What time fix you leave St Jean?
