[QUOTE="dick bird, post: 1166963, member: 93571"] Last year, in April, we worked as hospis in an albergue on the Meseta. At the same time we were reading posts on this forum about how hard it was to find accommodation. Our albergue was never more than 66% full and often less than that. So we began asking incoming pilgrims if they had had problems finding places in albergues. The main reaction was to look at us as if we were mildly crazy (which may be the case, but let that pass). ´Well, maybe this or that place had a lot of people in it, but mainly, no´ was the gist of what they said. Now this is anecdotal so possibly totally wrong, but the situation seems to have flipped around. Whereas a hotel is where you stayed when the albergues were full, now the default or preferred option is the booked accommodation, with the result that public albergues are often a lot less than full. There is pressure on albergues between SJPdP and Pamplona, but otherwise the accommodation you cannot book seems to be still there. Another thing we noticed, and this will always be so, the camino is unpredictable as are most things in life, so a degree of flexibility is a nice thing to have on a long journey. [/QUOTE]
