    current status of albergue bed availability on CDN

    I was about to post the same @Vacajoe ! We started just before llanes 2 days ago. No reservations needed anywhere. Relaxed everywhere. PS - where are you now? We’re staying in Pola tonight!

    Message from the Roncesvalles albergue - a difficult day.

    Thanks for the tip by the way - ended up doing this. Norte is super quiet, all albergues half full, very nice crowd!

    Message from the Roncesvalles albergue - a difficult day.

    Right you are! I’ve slept on it and decided to come into the Norte at llanes - when the primitivo then comes up on the left I’ll either take that or continue Norte based on how I’m feeling and other pilgrims. At least gives me a choice

    Message from the Roncesvalles albergue - a difficult day.

    Another update - hornillos was very busy and multiple people couldn’t find any beds and were sent onwards. The next stop down also didn’t have beds so I don’t know where they ended up finding spaces. After running to get a bed today I’ve actually made the decision to hike and travel tomorrow...

    Starting in Burgos today (May 7, 2024)

    Thanks Leila - I actually followed your comment and easily still got a bed and didn’t get in until 5pm. Good shout!

    Message from the Roncesvalles albergue - a difficult day.

    For those are you that are wondering how it’s looking further down the Camino (and apologies if anyone has given an update already). Arrived in Burgos today at 5pm due to a long journey. The public albergue right by the cathedral is busy but not full - I easily still got a spot.

    Starting in Burgos today (May 7, 2024)

    Arriving in Burgos shortly and starting Camino tomorrow. Anyone who’s here let me know and I’ll say hi! I’ll also post an update on beds & weather as I go. PS - any food/albergue tips let me know 🙏 I was just going to try the two public ones and see if I can snag a bed as I’m coming in at 3pm

    Making friends when starting the Camino later

    Thank you! I have my partner joining me on the last 100km so part of my thinking was that it would be meaningful to finish it together from Sarria to SDC. Also been hearing that it’s very crowded in SJPDP already so I’m somewhat hoping that I’m beating the crowds to Burgos if I then try and push...

    Lovely to meet you both and really hope we do get to meet at the start ☺️ I’m arriving on Tuesday 7th and will sleep a night in one of the albergues before setting off Wednesday morning :) buen Camino

    Holed Up With a Nasty Cold

    Feel better @arfajajc! Know the feeling of being holed up by yourself :( Sounds like the Camino is pretty cold at the moment as well, so that probably doesn't do any favours. I'm starting in a bit over a week in Burgos - so I might catch you on the Camino! Abrazo & hope you recover quickly

    Cheers @arkron - I might have to rethink my sleeping bag option...

    LIVE from the Camino Current conditions on the Frances

    @Becky 59 and @Annw - wow snow in May.... How cold has it been getting at night with this weather? I'm starting in a bit over a week and was just planning on taking a super light (15C) sleeping bag + liner that adds about another few degrees...Need to pack warmer?

    Making friends when starting the Camino later

    Thanks all for your detailed responses! I did consider that @CWBuff initially but hearing about the crowds starting at the beginning of May in SJPDP as @EricJR is pointing out above (and as I read in the Live CF thread), think sticking with Burgos might be a good idea and then if I still have...

    LIVE from the Camino Current conditions on the Frances

    I’m starting on the 7th in Burgos - is your take that there is a bit of a crowd moving into the Camino given numbers at SJPDP?

    LIVE from the Camino Day 5 of the Frances!

    Thanks for sharing your progress - quick question, what's the temp like at night? I'm heading out in a week and a half do to the CF. Buen Camino x

    Making friends when starting the Camino later

    Hi all, Very new to this so please excuse any ignorance or silly questions :) I'm walking my very first Camino in 2 weeks (iieeeek) - the countdown is on and excitement through the roof. I've been reading through various threads to get a feeling for the distance I'll be able to make in the...
