Hello all, I am new to this site, and am looking for some practical information on finding accomodation just before pamplona at the beginning of July during the running of the bulls. I am cycling from SJPP starting on July 8th, and am looking to do about 80 km my first day. That leaves me near pamplona, but i am looking to avoid the craziness (or is it worth venturing into the heart of?) and am looking for advice on accommodation. I am worried that the people at the festivities will spill out for miles and miles around pamplona and that accommodation will not be found. This is my first camino, and I love the thought of just letting it be... but will this be an issue on day one? Does anyone know of anything not too rowdy on the outskirts that might do me? Will the aubergues be open to both pilgrims and festival participants? I have enjoyed reading all previous threads, living through your journeys and learning from your experiences. Thanks in advance!
