Most pilgrims who began in St. Jean Pied de Port stayed in Roncesvalles for the night. The large albergue or pilgrim hostel has over 100 beds and has been an important stop since the 12th century. I had a brief break on an outside patio, and contemplated the remainder of my day. There were no albergues until Zubiri, about 22 kilometers away. However, it was early for me to stop and I still had lots of energy, so I continued. The church and monastery, Real Colegiata, wasn’t that extravagant from the exterior — at least not from this early view.
