I generally love staying in albergues and it would be my first choice on a Camino; you get to enjoy the afternoon shower and snooze, the evening sun, wander and wind-down, often great food and wine, top company, making new friends, relaxing. I will miss that.
I'll have my second jab soon but even after that, no way would I share an albergue dorm for the foreseeable unless everyone in the dorm had been vaccinated, and had to show proof. It's just reckless to do that for all the obvious well-discussed reasons. Which is why camping could be an option for those who enjoy it. The Government's role, Fernando Valdez's role, surely is simply to kick-start conversations, encourage people, businesses, local Camino organisations, individual albergues, local councils etc etc to think about it, talk about it! But it's not happening?
I've stayed in many albergues where a free standing tent could be pitched. In other places, towns and smaller villages, perhaps there's an opportunity to allow people to use showers and toilets in homes, bars, other places for a fee and then camp on the outskirts and bring in some money. As I repeatedly keep saying, I'm not suggesting wild camping. I'm talking about stakeholders at whatever level being encouraged to talk about the idea for where they are and their particular circumstances, to ask questions, to see if basic camping facilities of some sort could be an option, even short term, to re-energise Caminos, help get money back into businesses, help spread people's sleeping arrangements out, reduce risks etc.
No one is talking about a camping free for all. I'm not at all for wild camping in Spain, as personally, I think the risks of e.g. a reckless few lighting fires or leaving poo and litter isn't worth it. It's about adapting to a situation that is new, that none of us wanted or wants. It's about not just waiting for the old ways to return and refusing to talk about what needs to change or be adapted!!
