My sisters and i are intending to complete our last stage of the CF this year.
I've found that booking hostels for may this year is very busy. Does anyone know if something special is happening in Madrid or from sahagun to sarria?

Plus all the regional romerias / fiestas for the local Patrons.

There is also Mothers Day which is not an official day but families will be travelling.

Other european countries have other national holidays too in May so they will also be on the road or taking a week off for travel.

I booked my flights before Christmas, and made my plans late December, thinking that I would leave it until the new year to book. 3 grandchildren arrived 1st January and departed 3rd and I started booking but already two places I had hoped to stay at were fully booked and then I had difficulty finding alternate place in the same town.

Buen Camino to you all.
