Planning for Fall 2024
After years of hoping and planning it’s real. Been reading the forum for months now. I feel like I already know some of you! You’ve already helped me so much with the nuts and bolts of planning (gear, clothing, route, luggage storage- Ivar!). Im pretty sure I wouldn’t have heard of Gronze without you. I’m also pretty sure this will be the first of many questions from me.
I will start walking September 10. I’m hoping to get recommendations where to stay for 2 nights in SJPDP: September 8 and 9th. My dearest friend accompanies me on the first stage so there are 2 of us.

Gite Bidean. Very spacious and loaded with cool household furniture. Most beds are individual twins. It’s down on the lower level, so you only have to go up the wretched hill once - to visit the Pilgrim Office for your credential.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.

Pics of Gite Bidean. They are closed on Sundays. I wanted to reserve for Saturday AND Sunday, He let me stay and on Sunday I had the whole place to myself.

Given that on that date last year, the number of pilgrims exceeded the number of beds in town and they had to open the fire hall, I recommend taking any lodging that will reserve for your schedule. Some don't use Booking.com; those that do, won't make all their spots available there. So break out one of the guides and get busy with email.

I stayed in the Parador. It's a little more expensive (they do offer a pilgrim rate if you sign up for their "club"), but I thought it worth a treat to myself at the end of the Frances. It's literally in the square/plaza. Great 1st floor lounge, historical ambience, and the breakfast buffet will fill you up for the entire day. Epic end to an epic journey. https://paradores.es/en/parador-de-santiago-de-compostela

We liked it here. Good first night and a place to make new Camino friends. Don't know if you can reserve 2 nights though.
Yes you can reserve and stay for two nights. However, when we stayed there September 2022, "angels" woke us up, I think 530am or 6am, to get ready to leave and get out of the place even though we had reservations for two days/two nights. We had to stay out until they are ready for pilgrims again.

😆yes, sorry. For some reason I misread it. In SJPDP I’d recommend Gite Makila - Istayed there and it was incredible. Great place - highly recommended - right next to the pilgrims office. I read that it might be for sale - so I'm not sure if it's still in operation. Buen Camino!
