I am currently in SJPP. I see that valcarlos only has 24 beds, lots of pilgrims arrived today so hopefully everybody will safely get a bed somewhere tomorrow!
I was definitely going to the pilgrim office, I’ve done enough hiking to have common sense about me thankfully. I value my life and I always err on the side of caution when I climb the mountains here. I just love the irony of life having weeks of +15 degree days then BAM 30cm of snow 😆

I know, I think I’ll be bringing my dog mace 😂 I love dogs but doesn’t mean I want to feel on edge walking through every village. I’ll never do the Lycean Way walk in Turkey due to the packs of stray dogs you meet there
I can come whenever and struggling to decide when, Will be my first camino, I am double vaccinated from the UK. I am not sure whether to wait until next Spring or to come ASAP and risk being sent home if the delta variant gets worse. Reading these forums it seems a lot of people have booked for...
Thank you for the recommendation, I see they are open! I understand the reduced bed capacity for Covid but I cannot find out any information about whether they are still having communal meals, I hope so!
