Thankyou for your responses. Panic over. I’ve just managed to book hotel cainama. Booking. Com said it was full but The hotel website had availability .
Dear all. I am walking the camino Ingles in the first week of september and hope to be in Bruma on the 5th September but have just tried to book a room but all the places I’ve tried so far are booked out
Albergue san Lorenzo, Meson novo and Hotel Canaima have no room .
Any suggestions please...
So just to confirm you can’t book the municipal albergues and it’s a first come first serve basis on whether you get a bed. I’m doing the Ingkes first week of september and hear and read conflicting stories on accomodation availability especially in Bruma
I’m doing the camino Inglés in the first week of September and would like to know what your favourite accommodation and restaurants are so I might build these into my plan .
Also do you recommend booking accommodation ahead ?
Yes the terrace is nice at refuge Orisson but that is the only nice thing about it. If you haven’t booked unlikely to get in and the food is terrible as is the 5 mins shower they allow you
Cool. I’m doing the camino ingles in September starting in Ferrol.
How is the weather there now and the crowds. ?
Where did you stay overnight and how did you get to Ferrol?
I am day 4 now into the camino frances. The nights are cold. Not all albergues have blankets. The main albergues in roncesvalles and in zubiri have no blankets. My friend in her silk liner was freezing. She did not sleep. I had my lightweight sleeping bag and was toasty warm I saw that most of...
There’s no right or wrong about what to take on the camino just individual opinion, which I find fascinating. It’s all good learning.
I plan to take
A hip flask
A mini stack of titanium beakers to share my hip flask contents😄
And
A tea flask
Buen camino🫡
