Looking at doing the Camino Frances for the first time in May 2019. I've taken a look at a number of threads but was looking for a comparison between doing it all yourself and an organised walk. I would be traveling solo with the aim of time alone and meeting others on the way. It seems that for the most part you can arrange accommodation on a day-to-day basis at the simple albergues on the route by either calling ahead or turning up on the day?
I found this company (one of several I'm sure) https://followthecamino.com/
that offer to arrange an itinerary for you, with accommodation bookings and so on, as well as luggage transfer if required. But I'm not sure if that kind of company is necessary and if I'd be missing out on the experience by not staying in the albergues?
Anyone any experience of the company above (https://followthecamino.com/)? Am I just best to book everything myself and if so what places really need some pre-booking (apart from Santiago)?
