- Time of past OR future Camino
- May - June 2024
Good day to all! I am setting off on the Camino Frances in the middle of May. I have read recommendations to book my accommodations ahead for the first three nights, up to Pamplona. I plan to do a mixture of private rooms and shared accommodations along the route. While looking for a room for the first night, I found Espinal was the closest town with availability. No availability in Roncesvalles or Burguete. Espinal seems like a LONG WAY from St Jean Pied de Port, especially on the first day with all the uphill walking.
Appreciate insight from this group about the feasibility of making it to Espinal the first day for someone in good shape with a few months of incline training to prepare.
Also interested in tips about finding/booking accommodations ahead. Maybe I'm doing it wrong! I'm currently looking at booking.com.
Thank you!
Steve
