Where can I find... hotels (just off) the camino- CF?

[BookGirl305]

Hello!
Some of you may remember me from 2 years ago- I thought I had prepared adequately and made it less than one day- I had the cab come pick me up at the top of Alto de Perdon and ended up spending the rest of my week in Gibraltar with the wild monkeys, licking my wounds and celebrating the Queen's Jubilee in the unlikeliest of places. If it turns out that that one day is the only day I ever spend on the camino, it will have still have been a good day and will be enough, but... it's haunting me to come back and have a cab drop me off at the top of Alto de Perdon and then keep going from there.

I still don't walk very fast and I still can't go very far in one day, so I will never walk a full stage day, but catching back up on the forum has me a bit nervous about accommodation. One thing I have learned since my first time is that you can't schedule life and so I would like to just walk and stop for the day when I am ready without worry about making it to X place because there are no beds.

My question is this- I have tried to find information on traditional hotels (independent or chain) that are near the various parts of the CF route, just in case I need to cab it over to an Ibis because the beds on the trail itself are full where I need to stop. And I have not been able to find that info. I can find a map from Hotels.com or Booking.com that show the properties they offer but not anything comprehensive or a little bit off the trail along the highway. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you

You could try google maps. That tends to list all available accommodation. Not sure if it shows the camino path, though.

Let me suggest that you check out the app Mapy.cz. The Camino is marked with a blue line. As you enlarge the map at any given point, you will see the hotels, hostels, and albergues in that area. You can then click on the bed symbol to get further information. This might at least be a starting for you regarding accommodations and their proximity to the CF.

BookGirl305,

Welcome back to the forum.
The Spanish Gronze Camino Frances on line guide lists all accomodations including hotels for each town on the camino in an east to west sequence. It appears to be constantly updated. A Chrome browser can easily translate the citations.

Here is the link to the section which covers where you last stopped .

Pamplona - Puente la Reina | Camino Francés | Gronze.com

La Sierra del Perdón, en cuya loma hay instalado un parque eólico, marca la pauta de la etapa de hoy; la subida, de solo 260 metros de desnivel, es muy progresiva, solo algo pronunciada en el tramo final, mientras que la bajada es contundente y pedregosa. El Alto del Perdón es un magnífico...

Good luck with your research and plans. Whenever/wherever you do walk Buen camino!

If you cannot find the accommodation that you want and you're prepared to get a taxi and stay in a hotel near the Camino. If you click on booking at the bottom of this thread, this is Booking.com. They will show you alternative accommodation near the Camino. If you take as example Larrasoana they show some very nice places and the distance they are from Camino

However far you can walk in a day is a stage day for you. The longest stretch between towns on the Francés after Pamplona is the 17 km between Carrión de los Condes and Calzadilla de la Cueva, and it's really flat.
