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

Hi Augusta,
here is the direct link for Albergues open in winter

I will be in Pamplona around the same time, starting a bit earlier in SJPP... we might cross path : )
Happy walking!

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.

Late February and March are still winter on the Camino Frances.

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.

You might consider walking on to Zariquiegui and the albergue which is open all year.
See--http://www.alberguezariquiegui.com/
However in the past I have always stopped in Cizur Menor at the pleasant albergue run by Maribel Roncal.

http://www.elalberguedemaribel.com/
Nearby the Asador El Tremendo
offers simple, hearty food and an open fire in winter.

Good luck and Buen camino!

There are local buses (Route 1) that go to Cizur Menor for a very small fare.
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

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.

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
