Im planning on arriving in SJPdP in time to go to Good Friday Services on Friday, April 19th, then start walking after early Easter Services on Sunday, 04/21/19. I may only go as far as Orisson, or I may make it all the way to Roncevalles, not sure yet. Does anyone know how I can find the 2019 schedule for Good Friday and Easter services in SJPdP? Also, will I be able to spend both Friday and Saturday in an Alberge?

Keep in mind that the albergue at Orisson often fills up with advance reservations.

Semana Santa, Easter, and a Spring Pilgrimage are v-e-r-y popular times to be on the Camino and rightfully so! SJPP and Orisson will be packed!! Plan well and reserve well in advance!!! No Climate Change politics mind you, but you may find early-mid April very cold with a chance of lingering snow - usually no problem but Route Napoleon may or may not be open leaving no choice but Valcarlos. Plan well, remember Baden-Powell gave us "Be Prepared", and I would add "Be Flexible".
