All of the albergues of Camino Baztan are closed this year.Unfortunately my plan to walk the Camino Frances in September and October this year has been shelved because of the Coronavirus pandemic.
I still have a flight booked to Biarritz and a flight back from Santiago I am sure I could rearrange so I am seriously considering whether I might still travel and attempt to complete the Camino Baztan over a period of 6/7 days.
Reading a recent thread,it appears that the Albergues are all closed so my question is notwithstanding any more dismal news regarding the pandemic,would it be possible on this route to obtain sufficient private accommodation in small hotels/guest houses that might remain open?
Any guidance and advice greatly appreciated,my head is telling me to forget everything this year and walk when things hopefully become clearer,whenever that may be,but my heart is still pushing me towards Spain.....which shall I go with?

Thanks Fleur,You could look at local tourist boards for guest house accommodation. Or Air bnb.
Thank you for your reply.Stuartwe,you are interested in small hotels,guest houses on the Camino Baztan.
On the excellent Spanish website Gronze you will find information on the accommodation available for each stage on the Baztan along with contact details.
Some of the accommodation ,as you will see is very expensive.
Thank you Ferdinand,Good lucky with your inquiry and search regarding the Baztan. I hope you will fulfill your plans.
Please post your findings and results. I'm part of a small group that since last year has planned to walk the Baztan in October this year. So any help and advice would be helpful. Cheers and good luck.
Ferdinand
Thank you for the confirmation,I will investigate what other accommodation options are available and may have to make some revisions to my previously planned stagesAll of the albergues of Camino Baztan are closed this year.
Thank you Chrissy,So sorry, @Stuartwe, that your plans for walking the Baztan this year are derailed. You have made a wise decision to pospone while maintaining a very positive attitude!
Thank you for your kind words.A wise decision, Stuart, and one that you seem at ease with. Things are still so fluid, and changing all the time. People in Spain can go or not on the spur of the moment, but flying makes the decision process so much more complicated.
May your Camino Baztanes happen in 2022! It is a gorgeous walk.
