Det populære middagssted er på Posada, og du kan købe en billet til middagen fra alberguet. I spisesalen sætter pilgrimme fra hele verden sig tilfældigt ned for at fylde bordene. Halvdelen er ved at starte deres vandring, som begynder her, den anden halvdel er lige kommet ned fra bjerget. Det er længden af deres skridt, der adskiller dem. Det er også muligt at spise middag på hotellet.

Det kræver ikke meget at se hele byen, men næsten hver eneste bygning er en skat af en eller anden slags.

Nærmest alberguet ligger Iglesia de Santa Maria, hvor der holdes pilgrimsmesse og velsignelse hver dag kl. 20 (kl. 18 i weekenden). Man må heller ikke gå glip af Real Colegiata de Santa María de Roncesvalles, men relikvierne og andre bemærkelsesværdige genstande er en del af Museet (lille gebyr).

Den lille Capilla de Santiago o de los Peregrinos og Silo de Carlomagno (også kendt som Capilla de Sancti Spiritus) ligger side om side langs vejen.

Fiesta

Dia de la Virgen de Roncesvalles fejres hvert år den 8. september. Romerías (en lokal pilgrimsfærd) afholdes på søndagene i maj og juni, og onsdagen før den 8. september.

History

Roncesvalles er rammen om det episke slag mellem Roland og Karl den Stores bagtrop. Baskerne overfaldt og tilintetgjorde vagten, Roland omkom, og en legende var født. Århundreder senere ville kirken udnytte navnet, og klosteret her kontrollerede et betydeligt område op og ned ad dalen så langt som til Pamplona.

The Road

Caminoen går ad en sti vest for hovedvejen (din højre side) og dykker længere ind i skoven, før den vender tilbage til vejen, når den nærmer sig Burguete.

We stayed at Roncesvalles for our second night on the Camino and we’re quite impressed. It is a huge operation run by Dutch volunteers, and they do a fantastic job of organizing everyone as we came in, getting us registered and in general sorting us all out. I think it holds over 170 pilgrims and the entire facility has been renovated and is organized into nice quads, which are really well built out of solid wood with good ladders to the top bunk. There is a nice laundry facility in the basement, where they will do your laundry for you for a fee, or you can do your own and hang it outside. They even have a spinner that takes most of the water out of the laundry, part of hanging up which speeds things up a lot. There are cooking and eating facilities for those who want to make their own meals. The pilgrims meals were excellent in local restaurants scattered around the Albergue. We had both dinner, breakfast and also took a bag of lunch for the day. Beds were comfortable. The showers were hot and plentiful as were the toilets. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay and would highly recommend this and Refuge Orisson as first and second nights on the Camino de Frances.

We stayed at the monastery and had a wonderful time. Dorms are pods of four and beds are very comfortable. Clean bathrooms and showers. You can check in at 1pm and access your bed at 2pm. Must pre order the pilgrims dinner and breakfast. A couple of other options close by if needed for drinks and snacks. Wake up at 6pm with the monks chanting! Excellent choice of stay!

The beds are arranged in pods of 4, so it is pretty private. Meals are vouchers given for a local restaurant - posidon offers a great vegan option if you ask.

I recommend mass at 8pm, there is a pilgrims blessing at the end which was very special.

There is a large kitchen, dining area, vending machines and helpful volunteers at hand should you have any questions.

Be warned - you can’t get to the dorm until 1400 and before 1300, you can’t check in either. Take your time walking if you come from Orisson or Borda!

Everyone is woken up at 0600 (by a singing volunteer in my case!) and lights are turned off at 2200

10/10. Lovely public spaces and great room! Spacious, updated bathroom with big shower, bidet, and heated towel rack that works!

If you need a break from Albergues or just need a break this is a great find!

Staff is wonderful!

Loved the stay at the monastery. Wonderfully led by volunteers from Holland. So nice. So clean. Set up great for the amount of beds they have. The Sabine restaurant next to was so yummy. Try the ham and cheese fritters. Only place I ever saw them on menu.

We booked on the hotel side because we had read prior to going it fills up fast. We wanted to do laundry which was on the hostel side they told us No. we are pilgrims too but knew my friend would not be able to walk additional steps. Without the laundry issue this place is incredibly beautiful and unique. The hotel staff went above and beyond getting money back to us that we left in the room.

The laundry service is amazing and well worth the cost. Beautiful building, much better than the old one in the stables (I stayed there in 2008).

This place had the best pilgrim lunch. Right when you get into town up the hill.
