Hello everyone,
What are the general thoughts/rules about getting an Airbnb on the Camino (really any route but we are doing the Camino Portugues)? Is this 'cheating' or frowned upon at all? I understand that we would probably not receive our stamps at the airbnb's but I have read on the forum here that it is pretty easy to get stamps along the way. Would we not be eligible for our credencial if we did not have stamps from the places where we stay? Would we have to get a stamp in the town/village we stay at both in the evening and the next morning?
Don't get me wrong, we would love to stay at albergues the entire time to meet new people and support locals, however, having a private room would limit contact and that is something that is definitely on our minds during covid times. There also seems to be some that would be about the same cost as some albergues and cheaper than hotels. I think ideally we would do a combination of both, but just want to make sure we are not doing something wrong by staying in an airbnb.
Thanks all and stay safe!
