Are the albuergues really as bad as a lot of people/books claim them to be? Meaning lots of people in very little space, one toilet for 30 people, not too much hygiene, etc .. ? And since the number of pilgrims seem to grow every year, this probably won't get better ... ?
What about alternatives? Tent camps? Or (cheap) hotels?
Because the night accommodations are what 'scare' me the most. And if there's one thing that I hate, it's not getting the sleep I need! Or a shower from time to time ... Don't get me wrong, I've slept in tents and simple hostels before so I'm not expecting a lot but a minimum would be nice ...
I'd really appreciate the views of people who have recently walked the Camino.
Thanks a lot,
Jerome
