[QUOTE="MoLudlam, post: 54216, member: 7675"] I have just returned, on the 16th June from Santiago. Generally we found accommodation along the way. The private alburgues will take advance bookings. We found that the nearer we got to Santiago the busier it got and the more pressure there was on beds. Some people took to getting up at 4.30am to be able to get to the next destination early and be there when the alburgue opened. I found this really difficult as it spoiled the experience for me, so together with my friends we booked ahead the night before if we could towards the end. There are a number of newly opened private alburgues. I learnt basic phrases in Spanish, just enough to book something. The only problem we had was at Tricastela. Two of us arrived at 4.30pm to find everything 'completo'. We went to one of the alburgues and they phoned a 'casa rural', this is a house, barn, that has been converted to offer accommodation. The owner picked us up. It wasn't great though because there was no food on offer and she locked the kitchen!!. There are a lot of scare stories around but generally something turned up even if it was a pension or hostel. Just make sure you can afford the odd more expensive night. [/QUOTE]
