reserving space at Roncesvalles

[cesleeth]

I know that I've read this on the forum before but didn't write down the info. What process do I go thru in order to book space at Roncesvalles? I've read stories of people booking and then being turned away. I'm traveling with 2 children 10-12 and need to know that we'll have a space. Thanks to all

You book and pay through the albergue's own website. The problems seem to be that there are steps in the process which are not 100% obvious and some people have failed to receive the confirmation email. Or have been unable to show a copy of the email when trying to check in. A few people have found the email in their spam/junk inbox. This is the albergue's website:

If you can't book via the website, email them. The lady in charge is on maternity leave, apparently. She will eventually answer you if you are persistent.

We booked Rocesvalles online last September when we walked the first 200km. We missed the morning train from Barizt, so started late walking over the Pyrenees. Glad we booked, we got in late, around 7pm, they were turning away people as it was full, but as we our reservation it was no problem.
