Money Lost or Stolen in SPJDP Albergue

Camino Francés April 26, 2016
I stayed at the Municipal Albergue in SPJDP (55 rue de la Citadelle) on Tuesday night, and Wednesday night in Rocesvalles I discovered that my backup euros were gone from my bag. I tried emailing the albergue with no response, and my phone won't connect to the number I have for them. Can anyone suggest another way to contact them? Or the Pilgrim Office (same issues connecting)?
 
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,-
EXPRESS BOURRICOT - Transport
Transport luggage-passengers.
From airports to SJPP
Luggage from SJPP to Roncevalles
Camino Ready, Backpacks, Boots etc
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Ouch hard way to begin! You will find a way to shrug it off but it is a good warning you have put out. Whomever is responsible has figured out many just starting out are very tired by the time a person arrives in SJPDP. I was so tired I don't remember the bed or room I slept in.
I can only wish you the best as it will be a wonderful journey! (Get familiar with Euros so no one passes a counterfeit returning change)
Buen Camino

Speaking of a tent...what is the consensus of this forum?
 
Altus Poncho (ATMOSPHERIC H30)
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
Next time I will carry a rain fly if I find a place to watch the stars. But it is not a need
 
Yes a hard lesson but thats why we have bum bags or fanny packs as Americans call them.

Keep all your valuables close to you at all times

buen camino .
 
Camino Preparation Guide
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Tenting is done but they find just an odd empty spot. If in a city they had to walk past and to outskirts which means inconvenience in some ways. Remember walking to just get to Burgos city Center is 8 km and with this being said coming in you are walking on highway, past airport, and so on. Remember being in the city is where you meet your fellow pilgrims, eat and enjoy community, pilgrim mass, groceries, etc. It is possible if you your desire. I would give one suggestion though .....on your final day stay in city of Santiago so you are a part of the excitement and celebrations. Many stopped and found hostels early thinking there would be no vacancies but then in the evening they had to prepare their 1/2 walk home. I was there the week before last year July big festival and one hostel one night switched up next day right close to cathedral. Fireworks, live band, excitement all around. Nice finish to an incredible journey.

I was wondering about a tent. I will be on the camino frances mid Sept. I have an extremely lightweight tent that I use for backpacking in Colorado US. Are there places to put a tent along the route?

Officially I say not that many places designated for that. At least I never saw many.
Unofficially I saw people in small tents in various spots along the CF. I never saw anybody hassling them for it, and it was just a tent. Not like they set up a camp site, with a fire etc. In fact I passed one tent that the pilgrim had placed a donation container outside of. Pilgrims were walking by and dropping euro coins and snacks in it. I left him a roll of digestive biscuits. He may have been more hobo than pilgrim, but what the heck.
I'm sure I'll get chastised on here for saying this, but I suppose if you picked a spot, set up after dusk and left before dawn and left nothing behind but footprints, there is no problem.
