My best tip is a slight tangent on this topic. You don’t have to follow the stages of the guidebooks! I think this is part of what leads to the bottleneck in accommodations. Get a bed in the town before the next big stop where “everyone” is heading or after, or even halfway there! Buen Camino
I don’t disagree with you at all. All of the things you mention actually applied to me. And regardless of any planning I did, nothing turned out as I had planned. I didn’t suggest everyone will be offered a place, but I do believe that they set a few places aside. As I said there is a fairly...
There is another thread here on the forum which I’m pretty sure is from Orisson themselves explaining their pandemic situation. I’m not going to try to quote it here but if folks use the search box they can easily find it.

I’m not “offended” nor “pc”. Yes it’s an educational issue but it looks like the people who need this particular piece of info aren’t here on this forum. A generalization based on observation is a hypothesis, not “truth”. As a woman I’m always concerned about my safety therefore you won’t see...
While I’m well aware that women do more wiping than men do, after four camino trips I’ve never witnessed a woman doing this. This kind of ignorance comes from both sexes. And i haven’t seen anyone male or female taking a whizz or whatever in four years. I know people are doing it. I’m certainly...
