Just arrived in Los Arcos this evening and almost every albergue is full, as was the case in Estella last night. It's been pretty hot so everyone seems to be leaving at the crack of dawn! I've seen a few people get turned away from more than one place.

Ask yourself ' am i a bed blocker'

I love your conclusion: "Ask yourself if you are a bed blocker". Surely a pilgrimage includes thinking about others and our impact on them?
Now you know even on the Camino you are still having impact and that the Camino is not a pass on thinking on how we affect others.Oh please ! Live and let live ... thinking about the impact on others for my whole life has done my head in !

Honnestly, the Camino, I walk every year, is where I am the most conscious about others and I do all I can to not get in the way of their Camino. I hurry up in the shower, I don't leave my bag in the middle of the room, nor on the chair by the bed. I don't use a flash light to go to the loo in the middle of the night, I clean my mess as I cook, I don't get up at 5 am to avoid the heat waking others up. I don't demand from hospies that they get me this or that, I invote people to join me for a drink or a meal, I don't come back to the albergue drunk, nor do I expect others to be quiet while I nap. Yes, on the Camino is probably when I try to erase my presence as much as possible, and of it has to be noticed, let it be for helping out.
I'm so glad you think so. I have always figured that impacting others positively on the C. is the least I can do for the priviledge of walking it so they can enjoy it as much as I do.Well done
The comment referred to a previous poster commenting on how far people walked to get a bed .... if we walk 30 kms we will use less bedsI'm so glad you think so.

Iwill be murdered over this but here goes. As a 23 camino veteren bottle necks are 9caused by people only walking 8 /1012/ 15 km a day. If i walk 30km a day and somebody walked 10km then i only need 1 bed instead of 3. For example i left sansol and arrived in Logrono at 10 30 am. A big crowd of pilgrims outside albergue which opens at 1300.i walked to ventoso. Most if not all only walked from Viana or 9km.Grannon says pilgrims from further away than Santo Domingo but how many walk the7km only? Ask yourself ' am i a bed blocker'
I think they mean over the course of the whole journey: if I walk 100km over 5 days I need half the number of bed nights as someone walking 100km over 10 days. So come on, chop chop everybody!if you are one person, you only 'need' one bed - no matter how far you walked

When there are simply too many people everything everyone does will start to annoy you. Did they walk too far? Or not far enough? Too fast or too slow? Bring too much luggage or not enough? Get up early and beat you to it, or get up late and walk a lazy short day? How dare they!
If you put too many mice in a cage they start eating each other.
Actually we are in Navarrete...I got confusedIf you are in Logrono, you probably noticed that today, this Saturday 16 September, is the start of the San Mateo festival which lasts for 8 days until 23 September this year. This significantly increases the demand for rooms in Logrono. Plus, in general, the first two weeks of September were high volume pilgrims periods during the past few years in the first sections of the Camino Frances, and this year seems to confirm this trend.
