    Alternative Route - Camino Frances

    Thanks Davey! We are definitely going to stick with the Camino Frances, but might take alternative routes if we are feeling adventurous! Very much looking forward to it. Only a week to go... Buen camino to you!

    This is very informative. Thank you for sharing your experience. We haven't even booked accommodation in Biarritz thinking we could just wing that one. So, we will have to prebook two days in advance to secure accommodation for this time of the year. Thanks for the heads-up! Much appreciated...

    Oh wow! That does sound stressful, especially after a long trek to get there. Sorry for the noob question, but can one reserve an bed at an albergue via the internet or do we have to call? Or is this an air bnb scenario for Logrono?

    Thank you for sharing your experience. Sounds like a lovely trip you had. How did you find the accommodation? Just walked in and asked about vacancies? Any bedbugs issues?

    Just noticed that you have completed seven compostelas in three years - congrats on the achievements! Clearly an addict! :) Thank you for the suggestions, I have made a note of it in case we do want to wander off and incorporate another route. Although having read threads after threads all day...
