Leaving car parked at Roncesvalles - advice?

[thecatalanway]

Hello friends

We are driving up to join the Camino at Roncesvalles at the end of March. My partner will only walk with me for a week and then will go to pick up the car and drive home again. I wonder if anyone has any experience of parking the car for a week - how much it could cost - if street parking is OK?

We also have considered going to Pamplona and parking there, then taking a bus then to our starting point. This would make it easier for him to get back to the car a week later. Any suggestions of parking for a week in Pamplona?

We are quite happy to pay for parking if it's not hugely expensive as it is worth it to know the car is safe.

Thanks

Kate

Kate,

You must be very excited as you plan your camino!

Roncesvalles is a monastery and not a town so there is no street parking as such. However there are open parking lots for visitors who arrive by car. I suggest that you email the staff at the pilgrim albergue for further info re long term protected parking, Here is that email address info@alberguederoncesvalles.com. For more info regarding the monastery complex see this Roncesvalles web site.

If you Google the 2 terms parking and Pamplona this entry pops up.
They offer 24 hour service, multi day passes and more. Worth trying?

Happy planning and Buen camino,

Margaret Meredith

Hi Kate, I’ve done a week long hike where I’ve left my car in a secure parking lot of a hotel. By staying in the hotel the night before the walk, and staying again at the end of the walk, they were quite happy to look after it for me. Jill

Thank you Margaret - I didn't even know that Roncesvalles was only the monastery. So much to find out and most of it when we are actually walking. Thanks for the links

Can you please tell me which hotel as we need 2 months worth of parking? Thank you

Park at the airport in Pamplona. Transport connections are easy and ‘long stay parking is an accepted thing at airports.

Hi, it wasn't a hotel in Spain. I would think you could ask any hotel that has its own parking lot if you could leave your car there, if you booked to stay the night before and stayed again the night you got back. No harm in asking.
