The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Pension Maria Isabel, c/ Amistad 5 tel: 944248566 & Hostal Maradones c/Jardines 4 tel:94415 56 36 are both clean & pleasant and handy for the Estacion de Abando (RENFE). They are both close to the Plaza Nueva which is a a delightful square of tapas bars, small shops and family restaurants and as good a place as any in Bilbao to enjoy the paseo and spend the evening. Adjacent to the Plaza Nueva is Hostal Manoli, c/Libertad 2. Not tried myself but recommended by others.
 
Many good hotels are available, I liked the Milo.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Thank you so much for the suggestions. Will check them out.angela
 
There is an inexpensive bus service that runs to and from the airport and the bus terminus in the city . Not too far from the bus terninus , on top of a hill nearby( it can be seen) is the offical Bilbao Albergue , a seven storey building. It is a bit more expensive than most but far cheaper than a hostal. They insist on pre booking with your credit card number. Not sure if one can make an internet booking nowdays as it has been a while since my last visit.
The Bus is less than €20 to Pamplona and takes just over 2 hours and the Pamplona bus station is more central than the train station.

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.
