Ah. Good to know! Thank you. And for all you do under sometimes difficult circumstances. True, enough. Actually for we who are repeat offenders too. Roncesvalles is a uniquely special place. I'd hate to pass it were I walking that route. -

Couldn't agree more! And there is another reason to book: if you make a reservation you'll have a bed in the renovated building, with the beds in 4-pods and lockers, good wifi. For walk-in pilgrims we have (cheaper) beds in the sótano and in the...

I agree. Most of my Camino walking is done in winter and on quiet routes so booking is rarely necessary. But walking the Frances with a friend in September last year we found the pressure of numbers quite daunting and so we booked for SJPDP...

I agree that it would be nice to leave some beds for walk-ins. Here’s the part I don’t get though. I understand why some pilgrims don’t want to book accommodation in advance in a general sense (play it by ear, see how far you want to walk as the...

Get new ones. No "break in" should be required or useful. Just wear them to make sure there is no defect that irritates you.

PeteD replied to the thread 2024 Camino Frances to Santiago de Compostela cost.Any of the guides or apps will list donativos as well as other types of accommodation as will the resources on the forum.

PeteD replied to the thread 2024 Camino Frances to Santiago de Compostela cost.As a couple we completed the Frances in October 2023. Individually it cost 1,850 Euro for the 38 days i.e. 49 Euro per day each. We stayed mostly in albergues with a few donativos and treated ourselves to a private room in a casa rural, hotel or...

Love - Red heart.
...I am on day eight of walking the Francés at the moment. It is quite busy. A lot of talk about beds (and the need to book ahead). I don't book. Today I tried really hard not to get a bed. I really tried. Got up late. Took my time to pack...
