I am sure many will laugh at this post, especially you experienced people.
I was wondering if I should stay in an Albergue after the Pyreneees or go to a place with a HOT BATH to soak my (more than likely) wearing legs and body! LOL
Biarritzdon...you are hilarious!
I just thought i'd ask. I am planning on staying in the Albergue in Roncesvalles, but thought about maybe doing something different.
Domigee, someone suggested Granon %km down the road.
Now Dan please listen or read and take this in;
I had previously said Burguete is 3 km further on than Roncesvalles.....and its flat as a tack.
You will reach there starting from Orisson , crook knee and all , without any problems.
As i said in Burguete there is a Casa Rural called Casa Loigorri , no 27 San Nicholas , which is the path of the camino , the main street in town
The cost is 20 euros for a single.
There are only 2 chambers in the house let to pilgrims.
They are beautiful people and this is my last comment on your bath;
** As you can see we have walked a few ways , we stay in Paradors and also alberques and the bath in this home is better than the Paradors.
*** If you get the Miam Miam Do Do it will show you how many rooms in each place [pension , albergue, hotels ] it gives you prices for singles , the cafes etc in town and in my honest opinion i would not walk one inch of the Frances it.
So my friend listen as there will be no further comments from here ;
In Ronscavelles you have 4 places , single prices are 10e with 92 others in your room [albergue] or 40-55 e a single in the hotels.
**Walk another 3km.
In Burguete you have the above place i recommend for 20 euros / single / private room and as i said a bath you will drown in if you fall asleep.
You also have 8 other places of abode ranging from 18e to 63e for a single and private room.
And to conclude the next days walk into Zubiri is only 18km , this can be very hard and treacherous so stay there and not Larrasoana, enough already said already about that place.
The next day is then a 5 hour max. [ 17km] walk into Pamplona.
Without Miam Miam Do Do you are flying blind mate,
You will get one in Toronto and its only in french.
Buen Courage, Buen Camino.

PS And in relation to Domigee's recommendation of Granon a further 190km stay as its very good , we did in 2008.
However Dan on all other camino's we stayed in Santo Domingo , 8km short of Granon and treat yourself to a night in a Parador , the first one you come to in town.
There are no pockets in the shroud mate ...send an e/m when there , you will have deserve it and lets be honest at our age........ whats a 100e over 6 weeks.
