places to stay in Roncevalles

[Sallyhecker]

My sister and I will begin our pilgrimage May 20th, arriving in Madrid May 21st. We'll take the train to Pamplona and from there bus or taxi to Roncevalles, where we'll begin our walk. We are 1st timers, and anxious to be among the other pilgrims! I've heard the Abbey, in Roncevalles, is a good place to get our pilgrim passport, and perhaps a good place to stay the night? We'd like to stay our 1st night in a decent, semi-private place, to get a good nights sleep before we start our walk, since we'll be coming from the USA, we may have a bit of jet lag, maybe, hopefully not! Suggestions?

One solution would be to use the Corazon Puro transfer in Pamplona. They will meet your train, feed and host you in a twin-bedded room overnight and taxi you to Roncesvalles the following morning. At the Roncesvalles albergue you sleep in bunk nooks holding 4 pilgrims each. Also at the monastery hotel accommodation is available. See their web for more info. Don't miss the evening pilgrim benediction service; it is a lovely way to begin your pilgrimage.

Buen Camino,
