Hi all!!
I would appreciate a little advice on: How hard can it be to find an albergue around 4pm in the Roncesvalles-Pamplona area and in the León-Ponferrada area?
I am asking this because:
Of course, if we decided to start there, I would make reservations at SJPdP and Roncesvalles.
As you can see, even if I walk a reasonable average of 25/30 km/day, I like to make the Camino in a relaxed, unscheduled way and enjoying as much as possible of the monuments, restaurants, bars, villages, etc. that I find along the Camino !!
Thanks all for your help & Buen Camino!!!

I am asking this because:
- I will start a new Camino with my son at the end of May. Unfortunatelly my son only has 8 days holidays and I only have 11 days. I am planning to start in SJPdP or in Leon.
- I have already walked the Camino Frances four times, but I have always walked it during the winter -> No problem finding albergue.
- I like to get up, have breakfast (once or twice ... twice better than one !!) and start walking around 8 AM. Even if I walk fast, I like to stop to visit the places, take some coffees in the bars along the camino, etc. which means that, on average, I arrive at the albergue around 3 1/2 - 4 PM.
- To make things a little more complicated, I do not usually reserve any albergue (except some very specific places). Usually, I arrive in a town, I drink a beer with a "pincho de tortilla", I check the distance to the next town ... and I decide whether to continue or whether to stay in that town.
Of course, if we decided to start there, I would make reservations at SJPdP and Roncesvalles.
