- Time of past OR future Camino
- Plan on reaching Sjpp on 1st April. Start on 2 or 3 April 2019.
Hi,
I started from Pamplona on 25 July and stayed at Albergue Plaza Catedral. Because of Covid the occupancy allowed was only 50% and many pilgrims I saw coming after 4.00 pm were struggling to get a bed.
Next day I walked to Uterga and I stayed there for the night. Both the hostels were open. Again here occupancy allowed was only 50% and same with all other albergues.
I was at Azorfa last night and only 5 out of 8 rooms were occupied. Small pueblos are not very busy.
Everyday so far I have walked with someone I met at the hostal and have had lunch and dinner with other pilgrims but definitely feel that there are not as many pilgrims like in 2019.
I have been staying in small pueblos without making a reservation and have not had a problem.
I have used the website Gronze.com to know which pueblos have open Albergues.
So far there have been sufficient cafes open that I have never felt worried about food or water, although I carry a banana and chocolate everywhere. .
Most pilgrims I have met are from Spain and France this year.
I am enjoying the Camino!
Buen Camino
