Just to follow up on the situation in Gernika. It is a very nice town and a wonderful place to visit. While we had a good place to stay, it was very expensive for the location. The other option we learned the following day from some Norwegian boys who did go off to the free accomodation in another part of town, was actually an open sports field with a partial roof over it. There were showers and toilets, but they spend the night on the artificial turf in the open air - no mats or anything provided. We leared the following day at another alberque that the associtation is trying to get a municipal albergue set up in Gernika, because some hostel business is making a killing from the poor pilgrims by charging 20E a night for not much more than what we pay 3 - 5 E for in the others which have volunteers supporting them.
