Hi everyone,
I'm very new to the idea of the Camino and would like to do it next year. I've been reading the forums and it looks like August is a busy time of year for the Camino Frances. Unfortunately I am only able to go in August (of any year) so I am worried about finding a bed each night.
As I have limited time (must be back by beginning of September) I want to walk as much as possible every day, and not always stop when the albergues start filling up - is it possible in August to find a bed later in the afternoon or even in the evening?
If you simply cannot get in anywhere, is it possible to 'rough it' and sleep under the stars, or would that simply be foolish (or worse yet, dangerous)? From what I've seen so far, camping isn't generally considered as doable as staying in the albergues, and I wouldn't want to carry a tent if it was unlikely that I could pitch it anywhere...
Thank you in advance for any advice or insight.
