[QUOTE="David Tallan, post: 1134610, member: 31995"] What I would do if I arrived in a village where I intended to sleep only to find that there is no accommodation: [LIST] [*]call ahead to the next village and see if there is accommodation available there [LIST] [*]if there is, see if I can reserve it and decide whether to walk or take a taxi [*]if there is not, call back to the previous village and see if there is accommodation available [LIST] [*]If there is, reserve and call a taxi to take me back (and return me the next morning) [/LIST] [/LIST] [*]if that doesn't work, or as an alternative, see if the hospitalero/a at the full albergue can suggest alternatives [*]if that doesn't work or as an alternative, head into the local bar and see if someone there can help me find something (this requires some Spanish - if you don't have it, perhaps a fellow pilgrim can be persuaded to help) [*]all of these are likely to result in something better than a park bench, which may not be available in a small village [/LIST] Of course, if you are planning a trip for next year, you can look at some strategies to prevent the situation from arising in the first place: [LIST] [*]If you are heading out from SJPP, Roncesvalles, Pamplona, or somewhere else before Sarria, start your pilgrimage in a month other than May or September [*]Look at the most popular guide books (like Brierley) and choose your stopping village somewhere between the stage endings you see in the guide book [*]If those are not sufficient (but they will most probably be), leave early and get to an albergue that doesn't accept reservations before it is full.
