Can you buy guidebooks in Irun?

[jvshenderson]

Hi all,

My wife and I are leaving in 2 days for Barcelona, then to Irun to start the Norte. We just recently decided to take the Norte instead of the Frances, so we haven't had time have any guidebooks shipped before our departure.

Can you buy the English CSJ books, or any Spanish/German guidebooks in Irun?

If so, where?

Thanks!

Buenos Dias, greetings from Irun

Here are the resources which I found today for hiking El Camino del Norte:

Albergue de Perigrinos, Irun
-there are several guide books available in Spanish (€3-€20) but none in English.
-detailed commentary of the first stage, Irun to San Sebastian (1 page)
-map of San Sebastian central (1 page)
-credencial (donativo)

Oficina de Turismo
-The Road to Santiago: Two routes through the Basque country (March 2010).
Available in pamphlet form (1 page) or as a 59 page glossy booklet (free): 8 stages from Irun to Bilbao along the coast or, alternatively, 7 stages from Irun to La Puebla Miranda de Ebro along the Inland Route.

The booklet lists distances between villages, includes height graphs for cyclists and also maps plus things of historical interest. There is a Useful information section which lists accommodation options: Hotels, CR, camping, hostels.
