- Texas Walker reacted to Antnix1's post in the thread No room at the inn (Najera) with Like.
  
  Let me guess... Booking.com? Nájera is full of hostels, albergues and pensiones. Even if you don't book and turn up at 6pm on the day you'll still find somewhere to sleep.

  I’ll bang on on this until I get bored. Then I’ll stop. You use the internet; you have a mobile phone; you use banks and credit cards; you use tap&go; you use Farcebook, Berking.con, Instagrab, you pay local property taxes, are a library card...

  @angmsmith can you remember, articulate, what bit of your Camino still lingers? What it is that is drawing you back? If it’s that glorious, tearful, arrival in the Obradoiro then you’ll need to find a start point 2-3 weeks out of Santiago...

  I arrive earlier than you (8:00 a.m.). I hop on an ALSA bus from the T4 terminal to San Sebastian, which leaves at 10:34 a.m. If, for some reason, I can't make it, there is another one leaving around 1:30 p.m. I sleep in San Sebastian (Hotel Leku...
