[QUOTE="Deleted member 73526, post: 887967"] I have read accounts of people making inquiries in a bar or cafe and getting introduced to someone who is willing to come to an informal arrangement to rent out their spare room. When I did my winter "Camino" in Taiwan earlier this year, my Chinese-speaking friend used this approach a couple of times and we were introduced to terrific places. (I have the impression that this may be particularly common in Taiwan, since there are lots of unofficial hostels that aren't listed in guide books ... or tax books). Back to Spain ... I think that as long as you can find a bar owner or someone who is well connected to the community, then you have a good chance of being introduced to someone who may know someone who may know someone with a room to offer - and failing that, they will almost certainly know someone who can drive you to the next town with a hotel. Here is my best guess at the probable outcomes of this approach if you're in a pueblo with a bar/cafe Probability of an informal arrangement to stay at someone's house = 30% Probability of a ride (paid or free) to the next town = 60% Probability of striking out and having to sleep in a church porch = 10% If I was stuck, I am not sure what I would try first - Talking to the bar owner or searching google for a taxi in the next town. I know that talking to the bar owner could give me more options, but I also know that it might lead to a somewhat embarrassing situation where the entire town is mobilized to help me. [/QUOTE]
