Late arrival and albergues

Time of past OR future Camino

I will be arriving in Irun to start my CdN. But the train arrives the town from Madrid about 10:00 pm. There are albergues in town, but by the time I get there, they are already closed. What are other options for me in this case? Stay in a hotel?
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
I would suggest that you look on the hotel booking sites such as booking.com and venere.com and sort the hotels by price. You can then book a bed and also advise of late arrival, especially if your train is late for any reason. (Check the desk times in their info before booking.) It is what we have done when arriving by ferry into N. Spain

Thank you all, I will stay in a hotel the first night. I will make sure they expect my late arrival.

Thank you for your compliment. Because of the new "freedom", I plan to walk the camino every year as long as my body allows me to.
