Camino Baztan - where to stop first night

[JustJack]

Based on some other posts I've read here I've started looking into the Camino Baztan as a good option for a different start to the CF.

Gronze suggests stopping the first night in Souraïde, but they list just one hotel there at 81 euros. Where do others tend to stop on Day 1?

Also, is there a day (or more) with significant climbs like you get from SJPDP?

And finally, how is the food situation? Enough bars/cafes/supermarkets so that I don't need to carry food? Or is is like other remote caminos where you've got to carefully plan your meals (and carry food).

Not sure about the first night as I started in Sare and spent the first night in Urdax. Yes there are a couple of nice climbs over the Otsondo and Belote passes. You do need to carry food for one night but you can buy it in Elizondo. Municipal and Diocesan accommodation available all the way from Urdax.
