The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Sorry, but you should book a hotel / hostal for your first night if arriving at 11 pm. Most albergues close at 10 pm and are often full well before that time anyway.
Try Hostal Navarra calle de Tudela 9 or Habitciones Mendi calle de los Navas de Tolsa 9 but do reserve first informing them of your arrival, neither is a fully staffed hotel standing by and waiting for latecomers at any hour.
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.
Yes I agree, you might have to book a hotel (which might also be called 'hostal' or 'pension'), although make sure you check reception hours - many of the smaller hotels have a 10 or 11pm check-in curfew, even in summer!
(p.s. if budget is a concern you might have some luck with the private hostels, of which there are many in Pamplona! Check out the "other accommodation in town" section of this very helpful site: http://www.urcamino.com/camino-frances/pamplona/albergue )
Try booking Albergue Casa Ibarrola, it's on Calle Carmen. I think they stay open until 11pm. You should book to make sure you have a place, phone no. +34 948 22 33 32. If you get a bed there you have to phone them before 2:00 pm to confirm your booking.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Book into a pension or hotel, it allows you to get into your room, relax, create space for yourself, shower and maybe have a little stroll to see the centre and have a late start so you can catch up with your sleep. Staying in a private albergue dorm room means trying to find your bed and sort your stuff out in the dark while being as quiet as possible, you will also be woke up by people leaving at early hours.

Big stupid question: what if, in the middle of a stage, I realize I can't really walk anymore? For whatever reason, fatigue, pain, etc. How others have treated this? Are there buses usually...
Hi everyone:
I'm hoping to hike the Camino Frances in July/Aug. I would love to, ahead of time, order and ship ahead a pair of my favorite hiking shoes (Hokas) so that, roughly halfway through...
Hi,
I’m an 18-year-old leaving for the Camino Frances in a few days. I’m doing it solo with quite a small spanish vocabulary and those are the two things that I’m a bit nervous about. Any last...
