May is a super popular month to start from SJPDP. I would book up through Pamplona.Hi. I am getting a sense that maybe accommodation won’t be the same as it used to be but is it ok to still not book any if leaving SJDP May 8? Thank you for any current information.
I' d like to know the same... How can we get informations from the pilgrim bureau in SJPDP? Is there an email contact?Hi Lauren,
I'm wondering the same. Are the albergues opening to 100% capacity for this season? It's difficult to know from other post as the Caminos aren't too busy in March & April.
Does anyone know of future plans for the summer months?
Each region along the Camino sets its own rules as far as maximum occupancy in the albergues goes. The Pilgrims Office in SJPDP doesn't have information on every albergue in every region on the Camino. But a member here @Monasp is a manager there, and this is the website.I' d like to know the same... How can we get informations from the pilgrim bureau in SJPDP? Is there an email contact?
Thank you - I will chat with my son about that stretch. He was esp hoping to stay in the Albergue on the side of the mountain on the way to Ronscavallis ( sure the spelling is wrong). Hoping it is open and that one you can’t book I don’t think.It’s currently opening up by the day. April 1st saw several places on the Meseta reopen and between Burgos and Leon capacity has returned to normal.
There are fewer peregrinos than is usual at this time and commensurately less accommodation and catering - but plenty are walking ‘old style’ without pre-booking and having a great time. Nobody seems to be having difficulty.
The market will sort itself out but, personally I’d expect Easter and a couple of weeks beyond to be fairly tight if the expected increase in numbers comes ahead of the infrastructure.
If you want some control over where you sleep you might look a day or two ahead and as correctly suggested above, up to Pamplona deserves planning.

Thanks. We will look at it tonight.Orrison? Books have been written on the subject of making a reservation there!
Advise your son to search on here for the process and submit his booking request in good time.,

Thanks do much Henry for up to date information. Delighted to hear back to full capacity @ Burgos & Leon. Hopefully other regions will follow suit. I love the freedom of not having to book ahead too much. Back in 2013 I used to be a very fast walker & frequently the 1st to arrive at albergues so rarely had to worry about finding a bed. Much slower now & that's fine with me, but on a tight budget so hoping to get as many albergues as possible. Doing Camino Portuguese this JuneIt’s currently opening up by the day. April 1st saw several places on the Meseta reopen and between Burgos and Leon capacity has returned to normal.

Orrison has a great bar and communal dinner. Hopefully you'll get a bookingThanks. We will look at it tonight.
Thanks - we are going to try.Orrison has a great bar and communal dinner. Hopefully you'll get a booking
There will be some - but I would check with the albergues you plan to stay at! Like I said - many weren't having them in June/July, but I still had a few! And again - the pilgrims still made our meals together happen.Are there communal meals these days?
Both Refuge Orisson and Albergue Borda have reopened since COVID (not sure about as of today with regards to weather - but they do plan to reopen again). But you NEED reservations for either of these two places! Especially in summer months. Book now if you know when he is going! And Orisson is still doing Communal dinners. (I haven't stayed at Borda so can't comment there - but probably them too)Thank you - I will chat with my son about that stretch.

Hi,Hi. I am getting a sense that maybe accommodation won’t be the same as it used to be but is it ok to still not book any if leaving SJDP May 8? Thank you for any current information.
Thank you - I am relaxed and ready to go . Enjoy the rest of your journey.Hi,
We left SJPdP on 7 April & spent the night at Borda (pre-booked). Next 2 nights at Espinal & Larrasoana, no bookings. Did not have difficulty securing a bed in either location. Plenty of accommodation options open along the way.
Masks are being worn when you go to the bar to order & inside some of the Albergue’s but I’m told that the indoor mask mandate stops on 20 April.
