    Some data on booking ahead on the CF at Rabanal del Camino

    One other possible factor regarding the availability of beds on booking dot com is that there are pilgrims who book through organizations like Follow the Camino and Caminoways, etc. and those organizations book directly with many of the same places that list on Booking. So during the peak...

    Camino Frances in May or June - which would you prefer?

    I'm interested in starting the Camino in late September or early October--it seems there's usually no snow on the Pyrenees from what I've read. Was that your experience? What is that area like during the fall? Thanks!
