    New albergue in Borres!

    I sent an email on Sunday and got no reply. Then checked the fb-page and saw the email as xavialey@hotmail.com - not j. Then re-send the email and got a reply within a few hours. I dont know if they both work - but I only got a reply to the 2nd one (with x).

    First night in Oviedo - full albergue in August?

    I prefer no restrictions and not having to work (in general) - but since I have expenses to cover and bills to pay, that is unfortunately not an option ;) But thanks for tip with the hotel :D. I'm no longer concerned about the first night in Oviedo - more about the mountains that follow :eek:;)

    First night in Oviedo - full albergue in August?

    I might consider paying that much for two nights - in Santiago to celebrate :) ...I prebooked something nice(r) there for €40 a night that can be cancelled. Last year I was stuck in a dorm in Santiago after 32+ days because I waited too long to book. This time I will go for dorms untill Santiago...

    First night in Oviedo - full albergue in August?

    Thank you - I do very much hope to find some poles in a shop in town though - I think 2x 15 min is a pretty far ride in a taxi ;-) (I am used to shorter distances). I looked up the hotel you mentioned and prices seem to start at almost €100 ...which might be cheap for a Marriott hotel but that...

    First night in Oviedo - full albergue in August?

    Thanks - I needed that kind of reassurance. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the very first night and will arrive without a reservation (:eek::eek::eek:). I'll have faith in the camino and in the fact that the camino usually provides :D. Just like it did last year ;). Thanks :)

    First night in Oviedo - full albergue in August?

    Dear all, I walked Camino Frances last year in September and have decided to walk Primitivo this year. Unlike last year, I now have a job to return to and can't be as flexible with my. This means I have to go in August when it's hot and potentially crowded - though hopefully not too crowded on...
