Hi Daniel, I am also starting from Irun on June 5th after arriving in Bilbao on the 4th. I got my passport from this forum although the albergue should have them., I have only booked accommodation ahead in San Sebastian so I am hoping to get a bed in albergues along the route. I have on my phone or tablet the Brierley guide plus Gronze and Maps.me.Hey!
We are 3 friends that going to start the Camino from irun in the 5th of June. Maybe we will mix the primitivo in the middle but not sure yet.
Few questions -
1. From where we get our pilgrim passport in irun?
2. I checked the information about the accommodations in the Camino and I'm kind of afraid that there is a lot of places that we should to book already now. It's true or we can book every morning? Prefer it that way so we can be more free.
3. Any apps that you recommend to download?
Thank you very much!!
Best app I found was Buen CaminoHi Daniel, seeing as you're message has gone unanswered so far, I'll reply
1. You can get your pilgrim passport from the Albergue Municapal in Irun. This Gronze page shows the location and opening hours
https://www.gronze.com/pais-vasco/guipuzcoa/irun/albergue-peregrinos-irun
Many people choose to pick up their passport before they leave from the pilgrim association in their country.
2. Nobody can say exactly how busy it will be until you are on the camino. If you want to book in advance, then you could do that for the first few days and assess how many pilgrims there are around you also looking for accommodation. You'll see the Gronze website has an extensive accommodation list for each stage with contact details.
3. I believe the Wise Pilgrim App is popular Cheers, tom
Hello Classicfan, hope you are enjoying the Norte. I start on ~ Sept 3. Does the Buen Camino app show the coastal and GR options as well or just the official camino route? Like with your Wise Pilgrim andriod app mine too just keeps crashing.Hi, Daniel. I am on the Norte now, and there are more folks here than I expected. In June you may have to book ahead. However, a couple of the albergues will be open then that are not open now.
A couple of other things: as far as I understand, the Brierly guide does not cover the Norte, just the Frances route. And I tried to use the Wise Pilgrim app on my Android with no luck. I have been using the Buen Camino app with much success, especially locating myself on the download maps. You can even see where you are in profile. They do have a lost of accommodations as well.
Buen Camino.
I agree! I have the book with me as well and that is how I got my credential.I’m on the Norte now and the Wise Pilgrim app works fine. I also like even better the Wise Pilgrim book that I bought from Ivar on this site and he sends you a credential

Hi, yesterday the albuergue told me they only were able to help with the pilgrim passport after 4 pm when they open ..... I went to the church and was able to get one although they only do so from 9 am till 12:30 depending if the priest is not on urgent business ... they do not charge .... happy trails
