    Accommodation worries

    Seems like the comments have already covered everything. I would add that Booking.com does not list all facilities. I use the Buen Camino app to message albergues for reservations. The Monastery/albergue in Roncesvalles has a website where you can reserve ahead, but you may need to notify your...

    What are most people finding as the daily expense of a 2-3 month Camino walk?

    I'm assuming that if you are asking, you are looking for reasonable but budget friendly accommodation. Not sure what month you are going but assuming you will go during the main season, municipal albergues range from about 8 - 12 euros, so figure an average of 10 per night. You can usually...

    Do top bunks stop bed bugs?

    Sorry, just saw this... Here's a link to my pack from May 2019. It's everything I had with me in Logrono when I could spread it all out. I walked May/June, so the weather was mostly warm, and I used the dirty blankets that were provided when it got cold. Going forward I will bring my...

    Do top bunks stop bed bugs?

    I never saw a bedbug on the Camino. I was there in May /June 2019 and left my pack either on the floor, hanging from the corner of the bunk or in a locker if it was next to the bed. I travel light (2 kilos) and have one of those roll-top waterproof bags inside my pack for my few items. Never...
