[QUOTE="Incipia, post: 553680, member: 69511"] I've just (end of last month) completed the Ingles, my first camino and was so delighted with it that I'm already planning to do another short camino next spring. However, there was one aspect which surprised me, in a negative way. I'd opted for the Ingles because I'd heard it was much quieter than the last qualifying stretch of the Frances, but the albergues were much busier than expected and were often full by early afternoon. Some sort of 'race for beds' was going on, with a large proportion of people in the dormitories rising soon after five, and packing up before heading off into the night. They made some attempt to be quiet, but with powerful flashlights, mobile alarms and a general hustle it was impossible to sleep, so basically the whole dorm would have to wake early. A camino friend I walked with, much more experienced than I, said this didn't happen in albergues she'd been in on other routes, especially when there was a hospitalero in residence. And there was one piece of behaviour which really shocked me - during this early packing up period, the man in the bunk below me started doing what no respectable person ever does in public ... The race for the beds made the Camino more stressful than it would otherwise have been, and I started taking pre-emptive action by booking private accommodation ahead. But on the Ingles the options for other accommodation are limited, especially in the middle stretch around Prosedo. Because of this this, I wouldn't do it again in high season. There's a blog giving a fuller picture of my experience on my website if anyone's interested: [URL]http://alexklaushofer.com/pilgrim-camino-santiago-compostela/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
