Zariquiegui, any idea if accommodations have reopened this year?

[camster]

I'm looking into stops between Pamplona and Puente la Reina, and Zariquiegui would have seemed to be a good stopping point. There are 2 albergues, but I have read that in 2022 they had not reopened still. Any idea if they are currently open?

I did hear a month or so ago that one of the 2 albergues had reopened.

Albergue Zariquiegui. Albergue de peregrinos en Navarra

We stayed with them in 2016.

the hike from Pamplona up to Alto de Perdon is awesome, but the hike down is a challenge. I started real late out of Pamplona (3:15pm) and was whipped after the down hike and stopped in a town called Obanos which was just 2km's from Puente la Reina. I really liked Obanos, but it might be because I needed a place to crash.

Buen Camino

Gronze is only showing one albergue open - San Andres. Why not phone them up and ask?

When we walked through in March the albergue that we stayed at in 2017 had closed its accommodation section and was operating only as a cafe/tienda. I think they aren't planning on reopening it. Shame, as it was a good place to stop.

Was it called something like La Posada de Ardogi? From the pictures, it looked like a really nice place to stay, moreso than the one that seems to be open still.

The WP app has a comment from a pilgrim, on Zariquiegui, dated April 30 2023 that says:

"San Andres Abergue: The meal was good and the bed comfortable. Showers are not the best. They do have laundry facilities available. Great host!".

So obviously open... The app does not have a phone no. so it seems you cannot prebook. Good, IMHO...

The Gronze entry for the place lists two phone numbers and a website.

Yes, I just stayed there a few weeks ago.
