I was thinking of getting it at the cathedral . I read someplace here on the forum where other pilgrims did that. I start in march also. https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/where-to-go-in-irún-to-get-started.54833/post-613687 Post#7 states you can get the stamp from the cathedral but the hours are erratic. Also I think you can get a stamp from any local bar or even your hotel or hostel/pension, the local tourist office also usually has a stamp. I plan to get there a day ahead so I will seek my first stamp and look around before my actual start day . The start begins at the train station as I understand it the arrows start from here. Buen caminoI am starting in Irun in March this year and since the albergue will not be open I would like to know if there is a church where I can get my first stamp in the credencial.
Any tips from others who have previously walked in March would be much appreciated.
I imagine there will be lots of rain and mud !
Thanks. I am arriving at night after a long flight so thought I would stay in Irun and slowly start the next morning and only walk to Hondarribia and have a relaxing afternoon there. The following day walk to San Sebastián. I don’t want to overplan the journey but would like to be organised for the first few days. Buen CaminoI was thinking of getting it at the cathedral .

There is no cathedral in Irún (or San Sebastián), since neither is a diocese. But there are several parish churches in each.I was thinking of getting it at the cathedral .

In San Sebastián there is a beautiful big church in the main area of the town. They have a stamp in the office that is thru the door on the left of the front of the alter. There is also another church with a stamp that is in the area where all the tapas bars are locat.There is no cathedral in Irún (or San Sebastián), since neither is a diocese.

Yes agreed. Thanks but sadly I actually booked a pension. Would love to cancel my reservations having careful thoughts about my last night in a Nice comfy bed vs. bunk but I already paid..non refundableThanks for all the info. I am pleased that the albergue will be open. The guidebook suggested that it wouldn’t open until Easter and I was beginning to worry that accomodation might become difficult.

Please go to this tourist office, very friendly and helpfull people, they gave us a pocket guide of the route as well as a pocket guide with names and Addresses of all albergues on the Camino del Norte.There is a tourist office near the train station . It is on the corner of Colon Ibilbidea and Gipuzkoa Hiribidea. From the station it is about 600m.
I have not used this Tourist office but found it through my research.
