I’m in Santiago de Compostela now and I am heading to Ferrol tomorrow to walk the Camino Ingles. Does anyone have current info re whether the xunta albergues or other accommodations are open?
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.
Thanks everyone - the gronze link was very helpful. After reading the below post on the site from Sara Novo from 2 weeks ago - I’ve decided instead to walk costa da morte a second time.

Additionally, these were early morning robberies at albergues, on many routes, not just the Inglés. They didn’t happen out on the road, so really nothing to do with walking alone or with others.
