Great work Dave. Will check out your spreadsheet again nearer decision time!I'm in wait-and-see mode on 2022. Over the past few weeks, I've sent out emails to all accommodations on the Norte, along with amigos groups involved with albergues. It's not great timing, since many are shut down for the season (never mind COVID) and on holiday, but it's the school break, so it's what I've got.
Last summer, I tracked responses from accommodations on their 2021 openings here. It was only partially successful in terms of response-rate, but it offered a snapshot.
I'm now expanding that, into a more complete breakdown of accommodation info for 2022. (Those are actually different tabs in the same sheet, for simplicity's sake.) For now, I'm manually adding in details for all municipal albergues, based on a return to pre-COVID levels. Consider me an optimist. As they all make decisions about 2022 openings, I'll update accordingly. Some have already let me know that they're remaining limited in 2022 (those are highlighted yellow); in some cases, this is because they "took advantage" of COVID closures to move forward with structural repairs. I've gotten word from others that they're officially shutting down, and I'm listing all closures at the bottom of the doc.
Anyway, it's a big work in progress, but hopefully it will become more useful over the next few months.

Hi Dave, now we are in March and I’m trying to plan. Have you any sense that the albergues are opening soon for 2022? Your helpful spreadsheet suggests not much on offer.

Im walking through at the moment...might be able to add some info from my experience if I find a computer/way to access the spreadsheet! There's been lots shut (from Hendaye to Oviedo so far) but I've managed every night with a little occasional help from Couchsurfing, pensions and Airbnb onceHi Dave, now we are in March and I’m trying to plan.

Good for you. Any info on the albergue at pasiaa Santa Ana? I need a place to stay between Irun and San Sebastián.

Hi Juliep7- we are cycling the Norte and then from Santiago to Porto through April. I hadn't thought about things being closed due to covid now. We would appreciate any info you might have. Thanks all for. Your help.Im walking through at the moment...might be able to add some info from my experience if I find a computer/way to access the spreadsheet!

Hi Dave. You may want to try an airb&b I discovered (its not an albergue) but private rooms. It is across the water from san juan pasajes - name is Preciosa Habitacion in Pasaia. Host is Sandra. # is 34 691 861 526. Buen camino.Good for you. Any info on the albergue at pasiaa Santa Ana? I need a place to stay between Irun and San Sebastián. Dave
Thank you. I had spotted this too but it’s expensive compared to hostels so a last resort for me.Hi Dave. You may want to try an airb&b I discovered (its not an albergue) but private rooms.

Gronze says Santa Ana in Pasajes open 1st April - far enough for me on Day 1!Also planning to start the Norte in Irun, around 27 April. If there's any updates available on the albuerges, I'd love to know!
Encouraging signs! Irún's albergue is open. The HOSVOBI albergues (like Markina) haven't set an official date, but they will be open in 2022. My sense at this point is that the majority of albergues will be back in operation this year.Hi Dave, now we are in March and I’m trying to plan.

Me too!I relied on his guidebook when I walked the Camino del Norte.
