If there is another thread about this I apologise.
For those coming up to this stage, which I did last year with no reservations and no problems whatsoever, it seems currently to be in a touch of bed meltdown.
Queues at municipals are huge by 11am and a resulting panic booking wave has meant most privados are fully booked days ahead. We have had friends sleeping in fields, church porches and on benches. We have been forced today into an expensive hotel in Lavacollo despite getting to O Pedrouzo by 11:30am. Unless the panic booking wave stops the problem will persist but I can't really blame people, especially those who have walked from St Jean, for ensuring they get a bed. Large groups arriving with suitcases in vans are adding to bad feeling in the rain.
Not sure what the answer is but just warning that at the moment there is an air of panic permeating the air and beds are very tough to find.
