October/November Camini

Phil Krenc · Oct 1, 2019

I plan to walk the northern route, starting from Irun. I'm leaving for Spain October 19 and plan 30+ days to get to Santiago. I've been checking The Wise Pilgrim Guide for availability of accommodations in October and November and it appears there are albergues open through November. Any advice on finding accommodations on the northern route at this time of year would be helpful. Also, does anyone have suggestions for other guide books for this route that are better than The Wise Pilgrim guide? Thanks.

Check Gronze.com. It is in Spanish but if you open it in Google Chrome it will translate. There is also the Buen Camino app which is free. This will give you more options for places to sleep. I walked last year into the beginning of November and there were less places open the later it got. I never had a problem but there are less choices. Call ahead each morning or the night before to make sure where you want to stay is open. You will not have any problem if you know even rudimentary Spanish.

Elevation map shows this is really steep! What’s the best way from downtown Hondarribia up there? Then wish me luck on the Purgatorio—I am a nervous wreck.

My group of six arrives in Irun on May 20 and we're starting our Camino on May 21. Since it's the beginning of the busy season, I'm wondering if we should order trekking poles from Amazon Espana...
