I'm enjoying the information here. I have a possibility, very spontaneous, to walk from Sarria in November. After planning several times and having things come up that prevented me from walking, I'm considering this a starter experience. The tips and suggestions here have been very helpful...
Hello! I'm doing the same thing, walking for the first time in May. There are a ton of lists out there on this forum and via google. FYI....this might be helpful: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/1st-time-camino-franch-in-may.66257/#post-819072

Since I have never walked the Camino before, I wasn't aware there were so many different types of Alberques?! Is there somewhere I can learn more about the differences between...
Thanks for the feedback! This is my first time. I am taking a sleeping bag liner good for roughly 25° F/ 4° C. I'm wandering, not scheduling unless I get to busy sections where it's more important (after Sarria). So I don't know what type of places will be available. Cheers!
