[QUOTE="Deleted member 3000, post: 149950"] Space is rarely the consideration; a tent ties nicely on the outside, too. Carrying three or four pounds for 33 days just in case an [I]albergue[/I] is full does not make sense for the pilgrims who are cutting off the handle of a toothbrush to save 1/4 of an ounce! Unless you plan to camp regularly (and I still don't know how wild campers plan to take care of the morning bathroom needs -- pollute or impose on a bar? And imagine what it would be like if 180,000 other pilgrims did the same thing!), a tent is dead weight. You have to work very hard not to get a bed on a camino. Yes, if you insist that everything be done your way, it can happen. Go to bed late. Sleep late. Walk long days. Arrive late. Stay in the published stage-end towns. Aim for the [I]donativos[/I]. Plan for the places with ambiance. You can walk a camino where a tent would be a good idea. However, if you are flexible and adapt to the camino, that is, don't be a control freak, beds are everywhere. Find the recent Forum post about a 10-person group that stayed in Mercadoiro. It is an hour before Portomarin, and no one stops because Portomarin is the end point for every guidebook. But the accommodations are great, the location serene, and the food good. The alternative is Portomarin where a group of ten, or just one, would end up on the floor of the sports facility, and then complain that everything was full and you need a tent. :) [/QUOTE]
