Time of past OR future Camino
Walked Sarria to Santiago in 17, now hope to walk the rest of the caminos over the next few years
Hi All,
We are starting the next stage of our Camino Frances on 2nd April next. Can anyone tell me if all albergues are open and running in April. Our 1st time staying in hostels, always been hotels. Becoming more adventurous in our old age. Lol
Just want to make sure there are a few decent ones for us to choose from. Walking ftom Logrono to Burgos this year.
Also can anyone tell me if it is a nice walk out of Logrono? Bigger towns don't always have the most scenic entry's and exits.
Thanks loads
Orla
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
Easter is April 21. Many albergues open Holy Week, so it will be mixed.

I think all the walks out of cities are at least tolerable. Logrono leaves through a very nice park into vineyards (then next to the autopista with the stick crosses in the chain link fence, a classic. Burgos goes through a city park. Leon passes "Hobbit houses" then behind the industrial area. Pamplona through the university area, then up a nice hill. etc.

I hate the way out of Logrono but loads of accomadation in april buen camino
 
I have a question about whether business owners are tired of the crowds by October. I loved walking in April along the Francés and am just thinking about what the mood is like late in the season

There will be plenty of albergues open in April. However, if you are relying on the only albergue in a small village in-between popular stages, it is best to check early in the day or the day before. Even if the albergue is on the "all-year" list, sometimes unexpected closures happen - family illness, bedbug extermination, plumbing repairs, etc.

Walked from Pamplona to Castrojeriz late March a few years ago just before Easter. Apart from Lorca, all albergues were open. Walked this year first two weeks of April just after Easter and once again all open

Really? What's to hate on that section? A nice park, a lake..........
@Robo
I have walked out of Logrono twice and especially the second time it seemed tediously long, in spite of the pleasant scenery. It was very crowded, obviously a public park enjoyed by a mass of local people. I guess it was a weekend. I just kept wanting to get away from the crowds, and they all seemed determined to not stop walking. It seemed a long way before I had enough personal space to be able to relax into my walk. Not to criticize either the scenery or my many companions: this was just my experience.

St James' Way - Self-guided 4-7 day Walking Packages, Reading to Southampton, 110 kms
CAMINO FRANCES
LEON - COMPOSTELA (13 stages)

What you do not understand is in Romanian. I hope you can translate.

"Deep in December
It's nice to remember
Although you know
The snow will follow
Deep in December
It's nice to remember
The fire of September
That made us mellow
So, follow ... follow" ... El Camino


As we all know, here are two variants: por el camino histórico : (A) and por villar de mazarife (B). ("leon - villar de mazarife" - at the exit from virgen del camino we have to choose between the historic road, villadangos del paramo, or the villar de mazarife variant, with 4.2 km more. In the gronze, we think it is better to opt for the villar de mazarife, because it takes us away from the national highway and the residential and industrial areas. The stage, along the historic path, has a first urban sprawl and then runs alongside the n-120 national with almost any inequality. ")
