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.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

How are prices in albergues right now?
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Pretty much like any other year I think. 15-20 euro
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.

I’m travelling to Irún today to start my Camino tomorrow morning - I’m flying to Biarritz getting in at 4pm, planning on catching the bus to Hendaye and walking to the pilgrims hostel from there...
An article on the El Correo website reporting on very high occupancy rates at the albergue in Markina on the Camino del Norte. Full almost daily...
