Does anyone have any suggestions where to sleep in October? Albergues in Potugalete and Pobena will both be closed
 
More 2024 Camino Guides available
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
You may want to look into Pension La Guia in Portugalete.

'The Northern Caminos' by Perazzoli and Whitson, mentions Pension La Guia (tel 944 837 530) and Hostal Santa Maria (944 722 489) in Portugalete. Also, there's Apartamentos La Arena (946 365 454) in Playa de la Arena and Apartamentos Mugarri (617 038 292) in Pobena. Hope this is helpful.
Or if you're quite fit you might take the metro from Bilbao to Portugalete (a section that the guide says is 'forgettable' anyhow) and walk on to Castro Urdiales!
Have you looked at the caminodesantiago.consumer.es site?
I just noticed that distances between Bilbao and Pobena differ between my guide (22km) and the above site (32km).
Anyone know which is correct?

The guide I have suggests 32km
 
Camino Preparation Guide
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
The difference in distances is explained by the fact that you can go from Bilbao to Portugalete two ways: through the "mountains" - what you will find in most guides, or following the river along the very bleak industrial subburbs of the city. Take a right and keep walking straight!
