Larrabetzu Albergue

Camino Ready, Backpacks, Boots etc
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
This is rather unexpected, as it was run by a non-profit. They also run 4 other albergues on the Norte. I sent them a whatsapp last week but have not heard back as of now.

I managed to get in contact with the association and they confirmed that it is closed, and Lezama too. That leaves only Markina and Pobeña for the association.

That's terrible. There was already a dearth of albergues between Irun and Bilbao - especially low cost ones.

More 2024 Camino Guides available
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Yes, it's a shame really. I was there this May and the host was wonderful. The Norte - between Irun and Bilbao - has some serious issues i think.
 
Just walked that stretch. It was busy (I think also because the holiday weekend foot Spain) en a problem with beds. Especially after Markina, because Gernika albergue is closed, the albergue before Gernika was closed for holiday/winter. So the one after Gernika, putted extra tents in the garden to provide extra beds.
I took the bus/metro to Bilbao/Portugalette and walked to Pobeña.

Michael - I just checked in with the ayuntamiento in Lezama and they indicated that the albergue there is set to reopen in June, as is typical. Maybe it's under new management now? Have you heard anything more about this? I'm trying to follow up with HOSVOBI.

Would be nice if this one, at least, stayed open.
 
Best lightweight Camino guides
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
Actually, I take it back--HOSVOBI just confirmed not only that Lezama will be open (June-September), but Larrabetzu as well! The latter will be operating Holy Week - mid-October.
 
Altus 24 Liters daypack (DENON 24 H30)
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
