Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere. I Will be in Irun next Wednesday the 28th of July, starting the Norte on Thursday the 29th of July. I'm trying to find out where I can pick up a credencial on the Wednesday (I'm there all day as I actually arrive late on the Tuesday) given the Albergue in Irun is closed? Thanks.

We went to the police station inside city hall. Free, got our first sello, and the officer couldn't have been nicer. Every single cathedral, late morning and all afternoon, was closed when we got to Irun on July 2nd. So, got our credenciales, walked across the bridge to France, had some wine, walked back, and hoofed it the next day.

I also obtained mine there as well. And YES they were over the top helpful, including providing me maps and suggestions on places to sleep and eat along the way.

I use Alltrails a lot here in the US, in Iceland, on the Via Podiensis and a bit on the CF. Will it be useful on the Norte? For example, people here say the "warm up" from Biarritz to Irun (or...
