Just 17km from Pamplona.
At last report last summer the albergues at Zariqiegui had not reopened. We stayed at San Andres in 2016 and really enjoyed it. Hope they will reopen this season.Zariquiegui - it is about halfway, probably a little less (11-12km), before Alto del Perdon. It has two lodgings - La Posada de Ardogi and Albergue San Andres.

Gronze.com is also a very good resource.Two good albergues in Uterga.
If you don't have a guidebook already I recommend you get one. They're quite useful for planning a Camino.
That's too bad. We stayed in Zariqiegui in 2016 and it seemed just right for OP's request.At last report last summer the albergues at Zariqiegui had not reopened. We stayed at San Andres in 2016 and really enjoyed it. Hope they will reopen this season.
And Gronze reports that one of the albergues in Cizer Menor closed last year. It will pay to confirm what albergues are going to be open before setting out from Pamplona thinking there will be a reasonable selection of choices before Uterga.At last report last summer the albergues at Zariqiegui had not reopened.

I'm sure it is but good old fashioned book is hard to beat, especially for somebody new researching, and I can't stand apps.Gronze.com is also a very good resource.

El Camino Francés es el Camino de Santiago en el que confluyen la mayoría de las vías medievales de peregrinación europeas, siendo por tanto el camino de mayor relevancia histórica y el más seguido por los peregrinos. Su punto de inicio, hoy en día, tanto puede considerarse Roncesvalles como...www.gronze.com
Reading on a phone or other device is no more detached than reading a book.Detached human beings noses buried deep in a device.
Albergue de Maribel Roncal, Cizur Menor? It's a pretty place. Take your time and enjoy Pamplona? Have a gentle first day? In fact have a gentle day everydayHi All, planning a return trip for May. As we will not arrive into Pamplona until afternoon time but wish to walk on Day 1 can anyone recommend somewhere half way to stay between Pamplona to Puente La Reina. Not sure we would make it all the way to PLR before dark, im assuming we would need 4,5 hours (good fitness levels)?
Thanks

I agree that it's a great place, but currently closed with no information if it will open again.Albergue de Maribel Roncal, Cizur Menor? It's a pretty place.
I saw a pilgrim just outside of Los Arcos so engrossed in their device he walked off the path, stumbled went down and did a great roll and recovery back up. He brished himself off and meandered down the path, nose still in device lolReading on a phone or other device is no more detached than reading a book.
Fair point, I always planned based on 2 KM/hr. That included all stops, eating, sightseeing, pictures etc and it worked well for us. Always made it to our stop when planned or early. I am a slow walker, many folks passed me.That's true, but with a significant climb to the Alto de Perdon in the middle that needs to be factored in. I would add 4.5 km in equivalent distance for any walking time calculations.
That has nothing to do with preference of using a book over an app or website to plan your Camino, but more to do with knowing the proper time and place to use a book or an app.I saw a pilgrim just outside of Los Arcos so engrossed in their device he walked off the path, stumbled went down and did a great roll and recovery back up.

An alternative, at any time of the day is this:They are below Alto del Perdon and because of this make sure it is not dark when you descend. I liked choosing my steps to avoid loose rocks on that descent.
As someone who dearly loves books (as the enormous number of bookcases in my domicile attest, along with the stacks and stacks of books that won't fit on the bookshelves) I still find myself wondering how one is more detached with a nose buried deep in a device than one is with a nose buried deep in a book (as mine often is).I'm sure it is but good old fashioned book is hard to beat, especially for somebody new researching, and I can't stand apps.Detached human beings noses buried deep in a device.
And I have spent years of my life, probably, reading a book while walking down streets. I developed good peripheral vision, which almost always was enough to prevent mishaps.I saw a pilgrim just outside of Los Arcos so engrossed in their device he walked off the path, stumbled went down and did a great roll and recovery back up.

As far as I know, one of the albergues in Cizur Menor reopened (Maribel Roncal has retired and her albergue is closed permanently). And in Zariquiegui there is zero accommodation and very likely zero bar too. I don't know much about caminosleeps, but it is not accurate for these two places.... Zariquiegui has not had an albergue for over a year now.Zariquiegui - it is about halfway, probably a little less (11-12km), before Alto del Perdon.

I wonder what stories are hiding behind that 'almost'?. I developed good peripheral vision, which almost always was enough to prevent mishaps.
I’ve seen people falling down the stairs of train stations and metros more times than I can count. I’ve helped a lost senior citizen on camino who was somehow still making use of an ancient Walkman to listen to music and got lost in the music…I saw a pilgrim just outside of Los Arcos so engrossed in their device he walked off the path, stumbled went down and did a great roll and recovery back up.

On my first Camino someone ahead of me had been tearing pages out of Elias Valiña's guidebook for use as toilet paper. I assume from stages already behind us though for obvious reasons I didn't choose to verify that. The size and format of the book was very distinctive. One situation where paper has a real advantage over electronic formats.If a person *wants* to carry that much paper (tearing out pages as they go!) that is up to them, but there’s no need to moralize about how people read.
Let's just say that when you are a youth walking down a city street engrossed in a book, fire hydrants are not your friends. ;-)I wonder what stories are hiding behind that 'almost'?
There's a little shop, selling coffee, drinks, fruit and veg, some other snacks and foodstuffs. Quite pricey, cool drinks cost double the price of room temperature ones for example, but it does at least exist.And in Zariquiegui there is zero accommodation and very likely zero bar too.
In my opinion, it’s all about the hill.Hi All, planning a return trip for May. As we will not arrive into Pamplona until afternoon time but wish to walk on Day 1 can anyone recommend somewhere half way to stay between Pamplona to Puente La Reina.

Good to know. We stayed there in 2016 and it looks like they have grown a little in size. I remember staying in a room with 11 beds (5 bunks and 1 on the floor) plus there was also a smaller dorm.Good news! The Albergue San Andrés in Zariquiegui has reopened. Same name, different location but still with a bar and also a whatsapp number.
