[QUOTE="caminobrit, post: 36208, member: 5779"] Michael please do not put yourself off doing the camino next year because of the increase in pilgrims. I myself will be doing a quiter route than the Frances next year, but only becuase I have done the Frances many times. The rush for beds is not only in the Holy year it is now. I have returned a week or so from the camino and in 17 days I slept with my camping mat on the floor in albergues for 4 nights - once in a chapel giving me my best sleep on the Camino. I would advise you to take a lightweight camping mat. People get up really early (obviously its practical because of the heat) and some people arrive where they want to stay at 10.30 -11am. Then they start the familar routine of clothes washing and having a sleep. For me the camino is about making use of the whole day, enjoying the rest periods, mixing with people and enjoying the sights that you see on the way. I constantly arrived, 6, 7, 8 pm. Dont get in the habit of bed rushing, if you put your trust in synchronicity you will be surprised what accomadation will turn up for you. For example we arrived late at Villamyor de Monjardin, both albergues completo. Went to the bar and the next minute the bar lady is saying she has a house we can stay in for 6 euros each! That wasnt in my guide book! [/QUOTE]
