Having already prebooked in May on CF in November, there were already certain dates in May that are/ were tight finding private accommodations on booking.com. I have continued to look every week or two at accommodations along the route. May1 is a holiday and falls on a weekend. So expect Sarria, SdC, Ponferrada and Portomarin to be pretty full on those dates and higher prices. Most of the rooms we have at Casa Rurals ( two persons),hotels and pensions on
Brierley’s that start/end larger stages are costing $75 per night from Sarria onward. Single rooms are usually 5-10 Euros cheaper. However, we have no breakfasts included and no baggage transport included…just accommodations. Transport of a bag would cost 5-6 euros extra per day.
If one has purchased breakfast where one sleeps, then one is dependent upon the time breakfast is served before departing to walk. Also tour companies usually do not allow changes in your itinerary once walking starts. However, IMO, for private accommodations, this holy year, with high demand for private rooms due to covid, in May, the price of 75 Euros in a major town, from Sarria is not so exorbitant, for decent private accommodations, transport of bags, phone support and breakfast.
