[QUOTE="NoQ, post: 144945"] In Villamayor De Monjardin now and one piece of advice from the forum is more than worth its weight in gold. ... GET OFF THE MAIN GUIDEBOOK STAGES. We started in Ibaneta and for the first 3 days we thought the Camino was more akin to La Ruta del Bacalao. There were always people in front of us and right behind us and it was noisy andlike a race to get to the albergues. The albergue Zaldiko in Zubiri was full before 2. The main albergue in Pamplona, Jesus y Maria, was full by mid afteroon. It felt like a noisy procession. However, yesterday we extended our stage and did not stop in Puente, but went on to Maneru. As soon as we left Puente,everthing changed. We saw nobody between Puente and Maneru. The albergue was fantastic and only 6 pilgrims stayed there. Today we continued off the guidebook stages to Villamayor and in over 26 kms we saw only a couple of pilgrims and are now in a lovely albergue but again less than half full. So much for July having the rep for being crazy busy. If we walk between stages the Camino is incredibly peaceful, even in July. The smaller albergues are fantastic and the churh services are genuinely observed. It is wonderful to experience such a quiet and spiritual camino and it is thanks to the forum for guiding pilgrims to this profound alternative. [/QUOTE]
