For me, part of the fun planning a Camino is doing the research regarding accommodation in the towns and cities where I stop. Having been on a couple of the Caminos twice, of course I have favorites where I would enjoy staying again (Casa Fernanda on the CP for example). However, as there is such a wide range of places to stay, I also enjoy trying new albergues/hostels/hotels, etc. At the end of the day, I usually have an idea of where I hope to stay based on the research I’ve done. If there’s not a bed in my first choice, there’s usually a good second or third choice that work out nicely. The comfort of familiar places is great! The adventure awaiting in new places is equally wonderful! Mixing the new with the familiar seems like a pretty good recipe for an enjoyable Camino.
