Well this is the time we have and it's not long till Spring- Does anyone have any links to what hostels are open and February/March tips? Thanks
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Welcome to the forum Augusta!

The list of albergues on the Camino Frances that you can download free from the resource section lets you know if they are open all year. I walked back from Santiago last December, generally I found there is at least one albergue open in all the main towns. In winter if you stick to the Brierley stages you can't go wrong.

Hope this helps

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Pamplona itself is lovely in winter - a great time to sit in those wonderful old bars drinking a coffee, reading the paper and imagining Hemingway is sitting at the next table writing.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

Hello, and I hope all are in good health.....

On a different subject but related to Pamplona, I will be arriving to begin my Camino in Pamplona in 10 days. Should arrive early afternoon, will explore the city the rest of the day, then spend my first night in a hotel.

Instead of starting from my hotel I am thinking about taking a taxi to the outskirts of Pamplona (and avoiding the pavement as much as possible) and begin walking in a rural setting as much as practical.

Has anyone done the same? Can anyone suggest a good starting point just outside of Pamplona? Just past Cizur Menor?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Buen camino.

Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

Pamplona is a small City.
I recommend that you walk the Camino through it.
It´s very easy and beautiful. It runs through the old (pretty) city and then the whole path passes through parks (Citadel, old fort) and the university area.
The rest to Zizur Menor is a pleasant stoll.
Buen Camino.
