    You’re not going to be in the middle of nowhere. You’re going to be in Spain, and the Camino Frances isn’t a wilderness trail like the Appalachian. If all else fails, suggest going to a bar and asking very nicely if someone can help you call for...

    Wondering if you are stuck, without a bed, in the middle of the Camino, in a very small town...can we expect to get a taxi to another location where beds might be available?

    Ok I'm confused If she pre-booked at Roncesvalles how is it there were no bed when she got there? I have to admit that when I started, I fell the victim of the "no beds available" panic immediately. As stated all because lots of folks were...

    It had me a bit confused, too. So she had planned to walk SJPP to Roncesvalles in two days and had booked Roncesvalles for the second day. But then she changed her plan and walked SJPP to Roncesvalles already in one go on the first day and found...

    Re-reading the OP first post, her friend had booked her originally planned night 2 in Roncesvalles, but ended up walking the entire way there on day 1. Only to find no room at the inn. So to speak.

    Exactly Kathar1na. We were not aware of the busy weekend! Lesson learned. We are both new to this form despite dreaming of the Camino for years! I think we foolishly thought the Camino would provide...but need to lower our expectations or...

    So she and others took the bus back to the Saint Jean where she was able to find a bed. I guess she could have bused back to Roncesvalles and used her booked date, instead she looked forwarded. But looking forward, no beds available between...

    I understand your confusion. She wasn't planning on walking the entire way the first day. She was planning on walking just to the statue but weather conditions/winds convinced her to take the winder route instead. She ended up walking the...

    Don't be between SJPP and Pamplona during the week before and after the 1st of May. Booking.com availability is an indicator of how busy a town or region is but when Booking.com does not have available and bookable beds this does not mean that...

    As a side note, she did not plan on walking to the entire way the first day, but busing back to SJPDP at the statue of Mary and returning the next day.. The next day plan was to walk from the statue to Roncesvalles where she prebooked.
