    Is pre-booking accommodation the new normal?

    The idea that reserving in advance (as opposed to first-come-first-served) is a form of courtesy to fellow pilgrims and to the albergue is a new idea for me. Still, it doesn't seem a simple matter. In effect, a reservation puts a bed at a specific location at the beck & call of the pilgrim with...
