    Bedbugs on Sarria-Santiago this year?

    Shouldn't be a problem, I'v been back 3 weeks, stayed predominantly in the Xunta/Junta hostels and had no problem. Also didn't here anyone else complaining of them in that stretch (though I began alone I ended up with about 10-15 others by the time we reached Santiago) Only place I heard of any...

    Where to sleep if Albergues are full?

    I'm just back today from Santiago and its been a bit tough accommodation wise. From Triacastela, we planned to be at the Albergue (Xunta) around 11-12 O'clock. This is due to the fact that almost all the private albergues were full, as many of those who join the final week of the Camino block...

    Are there places to slept outside under the stars? Or are you expected to go to h

    We walked SJPDP to Leon last year and I am heading to Leon to walk to Finisterre next week. We camped out a few times, just in sleeping bags (July) It was cold, and we ended up wearing almost all our warm gear (not that much!) but well worth it! Great views and experiences.

    Burgos rest day

    We walked long days and ended up having two days off in Burgos, it was very busy and we ended up having to stay in a small hotel, don't seem to remember a wide range of accommodation in the city, just a heads up!

    11 days before I begin again

    Your plan seems to be the same as mine last Summer, we arrived the day before San Fermin, but it all worked out really well. Seeing Pamplona ready for the Bulls is worth it too! Gite Ultreia is where we stayed and I couldn't recommend the hostel more. I wish I could do it over again this year...

    Guide books - and the sour taste they leave

    I completely agree, we walked in July/August and some of the best Albergues and warmest welcomes were away from the stops of the Brierly guide, particular highlights for us was a night in Maneru Albergue and taking the route via Calzadilla de los hermanillos, rather than the Burgo Ranero route...

    Insurance

    EHIC cards should be sufficient, but there is a nasty habit (rumour?) of some Spanish hospitals not accepting them.... Its pot luck which ones will/will not though. I got health insurance before I went-better to be safe than sorry!
