[QUOTE="Luka, post: 1171633, member: 10042"] I am just curious what your opinion is on this. Would you knock on doors on quiet Caminos to ask for a place to stay? I saw this advice being given to a pilgrim who will start her Camino in the Netherlands and walk through Belgium and France. The person who gave this advice says she has done this herself. She used to rang the doorbell at houses in villages where there was no albergue or other pilgrims facility to ask for a place to stay. She said that it was a win-win, because people generally like to help out and she had interesting encounters with locals this way. I have walked from Amsterdam to Santiago as well, but this would never have occurred to me. I sometimes went to the local townhall or police station to ask about options to stay, but I never rang at doorbells (apart from maybe once to ask for water). It was my free choice to walk there and if there was no pilgrims lodging I would book a chambre d'hôtes or hotel. And also, if your house was on a less traveled Camino route, would you let pilgrims who ring your doorbell stay with you? [/QUOTE]
