Hi all. Just reached Bilbao after starting from Irun. Would say 10-15 pilgrims that have formed a ‘loose group’. Varied nationalities, USA, Czech Republic, UK, Italy, France Germany and Spain. No problems with a accommodation, food etc. Though sure many places closed but enough open.

That's quite a bit more than I paid for albergues on the Norte in 2018. The most that I paid for an albergue bed was 12€. Lots of places were between 5€ and 10€.

The municipal and association Albergues are mostly closed in Basque country this year that takes out the lower priced end of pilgrim accommodation.
