Your English is perfect !!Albergue de peregrinos Jakobi should do. Now it is in new place: C.Leska 1. The price is Donativo. It is opened from March to October.
Have yet not been there. I am planning to be there in the end of July 2019.
In the beginning of July 2018 it still was on the old place: C/ Lucas de Berroa, 18. I actually did't stay there. Just had a look in the morning, starting my Camiono.
Sorry, English is not my first language.
You were very lucky!On all my 7 trekks on Norte never encontered mud
The municipal albergue is where I stayed in September when I did the Norte. It is clean. It is right at the start of the Camino in Irun. You can get a credential there if you do not have one. It is a big albergue so I doubt you will have a problem getting a bed. I started on a Sunday and very little was open near the Albergue to either go to a restaurant or a grocery store. Be ready for a nice big hill to walk up. I thought it was a really tough day to San Sebastian. I thought it was tougher than St. Jean to Roncesvalles. But I am also 64 and I was 60 the last time I walked on the Frances. I also had already walked the Le Puy Camino when I arrived in St. Jean. But it is a long day nonetheless. A really beautiful camino, but lots of road walking and you will have solitude especially after you pass Santander. Buen CaminoWell...
After doing the CF april 2018 my mind is still not at ease..
So I want to do another one in 2019.
This time one with more solitude, I think that the Norte will provide this.
So let's get ready for it.
I will start on the 11th of april, anybody now a perfect albergue as starting point in Irun?
Ha ha go for it.... I did the Frances this April and I’m walking from Santander to Oviedo then the Primitivo from April 10th..... we won’t cross paths but no doubt we’ll smoke the same smiles and laugh the same laughs and definitely endure the same dilemmas but that’s the point!.... I wish you a buen caminoWell...

I'm also planning to start the Norte in April - not decided on the exact date yet. Good to see the advice on here re: albergue in Irun etc. I'm sure I'll be back with many questions myself! Happy planning all.
Thanks for the pictures . The mud Looks like the Frances this past April.Hi. I walked the Norte this June and it was a challenge. The first week was the hardest because the paths in the Basque region were quite muddy as it rained every day and you will experience a lot of uphill too, I accepted the challenge and in the end it was all worth it as this camino is one of the most spectacular I have ever walked. From the photos you can see the dark and the bright side of this camino. Do not be disheartened if you will have the same weather conditions I had but keep going, all the way, and you will return home with a huge sense of satisfaction.
Hello Leigh. Send me an email on german.pierre@gmail.com and I will send you some information you might find useful.Like WalkingGeo...I'm all ears as I'm hoping to walk the Norte in mid-July to mid-Aug.

Try this one https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/coastal-alternatives-to-the-nortes-asphalt.49578/My CF was also April 3 2018 and I'm also looking to do Norte' for next Spring. I'm trying to figure out a way to go SJPDP to Roncesvalles via Nepolean (since I missed it last year) then heading up to Norte' by walk or ride. Any suggestions ?
Hello, Walking Geo. I am planning to to Norte from end of July - first days of September.I’m thinking of walking the Norte from Irun in August of 2019. Does anyone here have anything to share about conditions, beds or food along the way in August?
See you on the road. I start 26 or 27th. Robin (Australia)Hi,
I will start at Irun 27th of april 2019

Depends on the time of year I think. We walked in Aug/September and October 2018. We were shut out of the alburgue at Ibiri Auzoa 20ks outside of Markina-Xemein for not calling ahead. Had to taxi forward as I could not do another 20k that day having walked from Zumaia. Then a few days later the alburgue in Gernika was completo when we arrived. A few times we got in just under the gun. We don't like making reservations but it's becoming a must.Hello,
is it necessary to telephone in advance to check if the albergue is open and if there are alvailable places in may 2019 ?
I stayed at albergues on the Norte that were between 5 and 15 Euros, and a few donativos.Is it just me or are albergues twice the price vs their counterparts on the Frances. I’m looking on the WP App & both Norte books, and they have most lodgings priced between 15-18 euros...
I was about to order my guide book......but now can't decide on which one! I have downloaded the Wise Pilgrim app, so prob won't use that book, so it's between the Cicerone 'The Northern Camino's" , which seems to make sense as I'm planning to join the Primitivo - or, 'Camino del Norte' by Mathew Harms and others. I can't see anywhere if the CdelN book has good maps and elevation details? I loved the Brierley guide for the CF, so I guess I'm looking for something that compares well to that. I'd love recommendations or just to hear what others are opting for.
I believe that both of those books are available on Kindle, so you could just download them to your phone to save weight.I was about to order my guide book......but now can't decide on which one!
