[QUOTE="MichaelC, post: 1144710, member: 41673"] I was just reading the thread on the need for volunteers on the CF, and how the donativos make the Camino open to all. No donativos = the Camino becomes a trail for the wealthy. Pivot to Italy. There are some municipal hostels. A lot of the private hostels don’t open until June. There are theoretically a lot of religious / parochial hostels, but they can be a challenge to get ahold of, either by email or phone. Most require reservations, though there are a few that won’t take them at all. Many of us - me included - fill in the gaps with private rooms in hotels. I couldn’t have afforded this ten years ago. For younger people it means doing longer stages, or spending more time on the phone hoping to find an affordable bed. Or they just walk a week at a time. It makes me appreciate how the Camino Francès is “open to all.” I’ll figure out how to volunteer when I get home, though I’m probably looking at the “Class of 2025.” As for today: I can’t believe so many walked to Radicofani in one day! Half a stage was enough for me. Pictures: some of the thousands of bikers this morning; and Radicofani in the distance [ATTACH type="full"]148022[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]148023[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
