Dear all,
I walked Camino Frances last year in September and have decided to walk Primitivo this year. Unlike last year, I now have a job to return to and can't be as flexible with my. This means I have to go in August when it's hot and potentially crowded - though hopefully not too crowded on Primitivo compared to CF.
I know that none of you can predict whether an albergue will be full or not. I know. I know. I know. But it looks like Albergue de peregrinos de El Salvador has better reviews than the others in Oviedo (https://www.gronze.com/asturias/oviedo/albergue-peregrinos-salvador) but they do not accept reservations . I do not need to plan my entire camino - but I also don't like the idea of not having a place to stay for my first night - or having to spend all night finding affordable accommodation when I should be buying snacks and hiking poles .
So - have any of you stayed at Albergue de peregrinos de El Salvador in mid-August (or maybe even now, in July?)? Did it get full and if so, how early? I should be able to bethere when they open - so I am hoping it should be ok. I realise that there are no guarantees, but it would still ease my mind if 10 people were to tell me they all stayed there in high-season and it wasn't full
Or if anyone has heard of a new albergues that haven't made it "to the lists" yet - then I am also very open for that.
Thank you in advance.
Best,
Mette
