  I used Caminofacil (https://caminofacil.net/en/) on the Senda Litoral and previously on the Frances. They are extremely dependable. The website has a drop down menu with nearly all accommodations - just select your Camino path and the city...

  Ditto for Caminofacil. They have an on line reservation system so you can use it when you need it. On the Frances, I'd use them once then maybe carry my bag for a day or two.

  JoEllen replied to the thread LIVE from the Camino A slow Finisterre walk.
  
  I would love to learn of your overnight stops and accommodations here as well. I plan to walk the Camino Ingles into SdC, then on to Finisterre aftwards. Would love some ideas. I normally don't do long days when I'm solo, so this sounds great...

  JoEllen replied to the thread Camino Portugués in September.
  
  We cycled the Senda Litoral last year. Because we also needed secure bike storage, we booked all accommodations ahead. It was busy, but not overwhelming. The weather was really good, except for one significant rain shower from Vila do Conde...

  JoEllen replied to the thread Tides for crossing.
  
  Most of the boats that ferry pilgrims are the small fishing boats. The big ferry hasn't operated for years and probably won't for the forseeable future. We crossed the first time with Xacobeo Transfer https://xacobeotransfer.com/en/home/. We...
