The best way to get to the Eroski site is albergues/guia del camino de santiago/eroski consumer This will take you to the site you want. If you are using google chrome and have 'translation' switched on it will automatically translate for you. There is a huge amount of information on each albergue, prices, opening times, no of rooms etc. There are also comments from people who have used them, many only a few days old. Hope this is of help to you
Buen Camino

this is the first time I have heard that getting a credencial at SJPP might be a problem (posting a couple of days back by scruffy1).
how likely is this to be a problem? Im starting from SJPP on 26 April - will there be so many pilgrims that this is likely?
can someone tell me what is the next place that you can get a credencial issued?
thanks very much

I hadn't heard of anyone not getting a credencial at SJPP, but they had lots of the Spanish ones at the Pilgrim Office in Roncesvalles. In the unlikely event you can't get one at SJPP, maybe you could ask them to stamp a piece of paper that you could later attach to your credencial?

Hello to everybody on this forum and anyone that would be kind enough to help a 1st time pilgrim!
I must say that I love this forum. I've been preparing for the last 6 months for the Camino and as time of my pilgrimage is coming closer, I decided to register here and ask some final questions on which I could not find an answer while browsing through all the available info.
I start walking from St.Jean Pied de Port, and I came across a problem...for which I hope it isn't really a problem
the thing is that I will be traveling all together for two days to get to my starting point and I cant get to St.Jean before 22.00, as my train schedule is quite set.
Now I'm worrying that I won't be able to sleep anywhere! most of the albergues open in late march or april, I'll be there on 18th of March and I really have problems finding a place to stay... :shock:
If anyone could share with me any contacts of open albergues that would let me in after 10pm on Sunday, I would be really grateful as I know I'll be exhausted and in a need of a good sleep before I start walking the next morning.
Also, I don't really have a plan for walking, as I find a lot of information on the web-although very helpful- very confusing too. It seems that everyone has it's own plan of what one wants to see, but I could not find a schedule for 30 days anywhere. Mostly people walk more or less, or start on a different place than I, so I would be really grateful if someone would maybe share with me the plan to walk from St.Jean Pied de Port to Santiago in 29 or 30 days. It can be 28 too... I was thinking of walking 25km per day, but I don't want to miss the best cities, albergues or other sightseeings just because I couldn't find all the info...
Anyone? Please?
Thank you for the advice!
Don't forget that they have absolutely wonderful croissants, bread and cheeses there - you will need to carry some supplies including water. I thought there was a starting turnstile, but you just start walking - UP! Margaret WilsonHello to everybody on this forum and anyone that would be kind enough to help a 1st time pilgrim!

I am currently on the Camino, having started two weeks ago yesterday.y son and I stayed at the Beilari in SJPDP. I would not stay there again. I met another couple on the Camino who were at the Beilari at the same time and they feel the same way.Hello to everybody on this forum and anyone that would be kind enough to help a 1st time pilgrim!

Sorry to hear that. I've heard good things about the place even after the change of ownership. Just goes to show that people's experiences can be very different. My very least favorite place to stay (Tosantos) has been considered one of the very best experiences by many MANY people.I am currently on the Camino, having started two weeks ago yesterday.y son and I stayed at the Beilari in SJPDP. I would not stay there again. I met another couple on the Camino who were at the Beilari at the same time and they feel the same way.
It has recently changed ownership and perhaps the new owner is thriving off the previous owner's hard work? I am not sure.
Anyway, I was disappointed. Caveat Emptor.
