Hello everyone,

Just a simple question: is it possible to stay in the official Camino albergue the first night I get to St Jean Pied de Port or will I have to book accommodation for my first night?

Thanks for your help!

If you have your credential yes you can. You will probably get your first stamp at the pilgrim office then you can get the next one at the albergue.
Buen Camino.

Yes, you can! It's a small albergue. We went to the pilgrim's office to get our credentials (they weighed our bags there, too), and then the lovely volunteers assigned us a bed in the albergue and walked us over. It's just a few doors down.

Thanks for the confirmation. I'm on a tight budget for the month, so need to plan ahead a bit! Thanks!

For budget planning you can look at the albergue options at this site to get accurate pricing:

Scroll toward the bottom and look for precio. For example:

• Precio: 8 euros con desayuno incluido.

If you can get there in the early afternoon, it will increase your chances of getting a bed in the municipal albergue.
