Where are people on CF these days

CF 23, Primitivo & San Salvador 24, CF oct/nov?
Feeling a little alone at CF. Where is it most likely that I won't be the only one in the albergue, Villar de Masarif, Villavante, Hospital de Orbigo or Astorga (which is probably too long for me tomorrow). But if so, which albergue there? A bit unexpected, haven't seen others, and the only one today again here in Oncina, none in D or here at El Pajar. And can someone dry my clothes please?, I almost died in the heat today, but my clothes refuse to dry outside. Did go at this time of the year to avoid crowds, just wasn't prepared to be totally alone. Luxury problem, I know..

There's an expression in English 'Be careful what you wish for - you might just get it". You didn't want crowds - you haven't got them .
I guess one positive about being alone is that you can stretch your washing line pretty much wherever you like inside!

I know you and I have very different ideas as to what constitutes a hot day - what was the temperature today -12 degrees, 15?

Hope you get to meet up with a few nice people henceforth.

Buen Camino!

I don't think that many people stay in Oncina. I was the only pilgrim at El Pajar when I stayed there in June!
I think that Hospital de Órbigo will be a good bet for meeting other pilgrims.
 
Camino Ready, Backpacks, Boots etc
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
I think a lot of people stop at Hospital but there are multiple Albergues there so not sure how many will be there in any single one. We had a great experience in Albergue Verde a week ago.
 
Ha ha, you are so right about that
And also, locals here are freezing, Im wearing t-shirt and feeling fine.
 
Better than drowning, just watching the news from Valencia 72 people dead (so far) due to flash flooding in the region.

I realise you're quite some distance away but nonetheless it looks like rain might be heading your way. Stay safe!

Only La Encina open there, one day too late for Miguel and Verde..

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
I've stayed in El Pajar twice, same with Albergue El Encanto in Vilares del Orbigo - both wonderful stops.
