[QUOTE="lovingkindness, post: 55588, member: 7570"] Hi there, LTfit. [i][b]Is it doable in July/August?[/b][/i] July and August are exceedingly hot months on the Extramadura and beyond and the distances long between stages. In July this year I observed a dramatic decrease in the number of peregrinos arriving by foot at the Casa Paroquia/Albergue where I volunteered. Some days there were none at. [i][b]Is it possible to stay in only Municipal/Parroquial auberges?[/b][/i] For much of the way. In several places the only options are private or the tourist albergues which cost more. You could take a tent! I wish that I had. [i][b]should I bring a sleeping-bag or mat?[/b][/i] No, a sleeping sheet is enough until you reach Galicia. Galicia has cold dawns in July, with the possibility of fog and rain. Perhaps you could post ahead your summer sleeping bag to Zamora or somewhere further ahead, or extra clothing layers to sleep in rather than a bag. A mat might be needed in Galicia, along the Via Sanabres. Recenty I stayed overnight in the Ourense Albergue. It was filled to capacity with long distance peregrinos and those beginning in Galicia. [b][i]Any good up-to-date guide books around?[/i][/b] The camino is well signed all the way from Seville to Santiago de Compostela. In October-December, last year I used Alison Rajus's Book (dated but still useful) and the CSJ guide as well for services and facilities along the way. I hope this helps. Buen Camino, LTfit. Regards, Lovingkindness [/QUOTE]
