Albergue Casa Baztan has availability on berking.con from 1 July. Albergue Camino del Perdon is said to be opening from 1 July. Given the fluidity of current events I would wait until much nearer my travel time before making any commitments.Both albergues there seemed to have closed. Any ideas where to stay or do we need to push on to Uterga or Puente la Reina? We will be there around September 7, 2021.
Uterga is not a great distance from Zariquiegui. Depends of course where you begin! The idea of getting a taxi back to Pamplona is ok, but with sufficient mental energy, and a booking at the albergue on the left in Uterga, with its range of options from bunks in a common dormitory to private rooms, and an option for dinner, strikes me as achievable. I did it very recently, but before Covid, from Pamplona, and it was a delightful day.Both albergues there seemed to have closed.

Yes, the starting point for the day would be good to know.Uterga is not a great distance from Zariquiegui. Depends of course where you begin!
Where are you starting from that morning?Both albergues there seemed to have closed. Any ideas where to stay or do we need to push on to Uterga or Puente la Reina? We will be there around September 7, 2021.
From Pamplona. We decided to push on to Uterga.Where are you starting from that morning?
Yup. I usually walk from Pamplona to Puente la Reina. Easy peasy. I'm 69 this year, by the way.Uterga is scarcely a push from Pamplona. 16km with one small bump in the way.
It is good that you walk at your pace and distance everyday. What is easy for some can be difficult for others. Pick the distance you think is right for you. You can adjust daily as you watch the weather, and experience your own bodies. Walk your camino not someone else’s.We are older and the idea of walking 10 miles a day for 50 days is a little scary.

Our first Camino in 2008 hurt a bit as we rushed because of the terrible weather when we commenced in May. The albergue in PLReina was closed under water.I walked to Zariquiegui from Trinidad de Arre, then got a taxi back into Pamplona, did some sightseeing etc, took part in the fiesta that was going on with old friends and next morning got a taxi back to Zariquiegui.
That's not giving us much useful information to make our decisions on!I didn’t like the albergue in Z town, even if it’s open, I recommend you continue to the next place.
It is indeed odd that there are no albergues in Zariquiegui listed on Gronze.com.Hi, does anybody knows if it is some albergue in Zariquiegui open? On Gronze.com are these albergues missing and on camino ninja is not Information opening.
The link works for me.Albergue San Andrés seems to have lost their internet domain... that's not a good sign. www.alberguezariquiegui.com
It probably means that one can't email them either
Wow! that's a surprise but a positive oneThe link works for me.

I've not heard back from either of them but yesterday Gronze.com did not show any albergue for Zariquiegui and today they list the Albergue San Andrés under the heading Zariquiegui.I emailed this albergue to ask whether they are open.
I emailed Gronze to ask why they don't list the two albergues that Zariquiegui has.
