    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD When an airline cancels your flight and refuses refund

    Hello everyone I'm just curious if anyone bumped into the situation where your airline cancelled your flight to get to Spain and refused the refund?

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Primitivo in Spring, 2020?

    Shortage of beds in August

    I am planning on walking the primitivo for the first time in July. I'm worried this may happen and detract from my experience. How did you book/find private alberques and what was the average rate, if you don't mind replying I'd appreciate it! Thanks!

    Class of 2020

    I am planning my first camino (Primitivo) for July 2020. I have heard that route is very crowded then to the point of struggling to find a bed. Hope that's not the case. This is the only time I can go and really have my heart set on this for reasons I can't describe but boil down to my husband...
