Time of past OR future Camino
16' - Pamplona to Burgos, 17' - Leon to Santiago..
Does anyone have any recent experience staying at the MONASTERY OF SAINT BENEDICT in Estella?
(aka ‘Monasterio San Benito‘)

I’ve tried emailing to make a reservation and don’t get a reply. Also whatsapp doesn’t accept their phone number.
Just wondering if the Hostel there is still happening.
Thanks
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
You could try WhatsApp-ing a neighboring lodging in the same town, to ask about the monastery situation.

Update: They got back to me - not taking reservations during April 24' it seems:
"No, no está cerrado. Pero hay varias cosas pendientes que nos hacen tomar esta decisión por ahora, en estos meses. Gracias!"
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Hope you are able to stay at Monasterio San Benito. We did in 2016 and it was such a highlight of my Camino!
