I am currently in Ages. It is really difficult to find beds. I am booking five days ahead in order to find something. At the same time, I am aware that several people I have been walking with/behind…I am very slow…have skipped ahead to Burgos. Moreover, many of them say they do not plan to walk the meseta, so things may thin out a bit. Every albergue I have stayed in thus far have been jam packed.
 
I do not. I have not stayed in the municipal albergue yet. But everyone I have spoken to has reported full houses everywhere.

I am struck that if they all skip the Meseta they'll all end up in Leon in the same crowd that's eating all the beds. Me, I think I would enjoy walking a tranquil Meseta and arriving in Leon when the Lemmings have moved on .

Buen Camino @AshtabulaJed

¿Qué? Sorry old man but I really don’t follow your banter. Are you suggesting that a venture on Camino will involve an encounter with our oldest companions? Or that skipping the Meseta will expose the peripatetic pilgrim to bug-riddled buses? Or even that the wide rolling cold desert that is the Meseta is Cimex Central?

More information would help

You didn't talk to me and I happily report that there are plenty of beds to be had at Donativo and Municipal albergues. Especially in the smaller towns that are not listed as end points or stage endings on various guides

It seems as if we walk different Caminos.

Where are you now, @DoughnutANZ ?

Caught, I am. I am at home, lying in my bed, recovering from my 34 hour trip back to Aotearoa New Zealand and remembering my Camino from last week.

For my own reasons, I had booked my return flight for the 13th of September and so I ended my Camino Aragonés in Logroño.

I enjoyed the Aragonés with one especially magical day watching the sun go down at the House of the Rising Sun albergue (La Casa de Las Sunrisas) with an interesting group of Spanish, Italian, Polish, British, Irish and possibly one person from the USA but the Madrid is still my favourite Camino to date.
