Paradors still offer the Pilgrim's Rate.
It is usually the same rate as their advance booking rate BUT without the advance booking conditions (which are non-refundable, pay in advance). So as a Pilgrim you get the lowest rate but can pay when...
So many good suggestions above ... this could get expensive!
A couple of posts hint at a 'pilgrim rate'. In the first Camino book I ever read (Jack Hitt's Off the Road) he mentions going to the parador in Leon and being offered a better rate...
There are many good walking tracks around Wellington, and I've been spending quite a bit of time on the Southern Walkway as I see about getting into Camino trim. (I'll move on to some of the others if/when I get bored and/or fitter.) This is...
