Camino Ingles- accommodations

[nedelson]

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?

Yes, the Xunta albergues are open. Hotels/pensiones/private albergues etc. should be too. Buen Camino!!

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. I’m copying her post here- I’m sure Ingles would be fine and lovely for those who aren’t walking alone -given the incident she describes seems to be recent and ongoing I’ll give it a miss this year copying it below FYI

Hola a todos!
Justo terminé ayer y solo quería recordaros que extreméis las precauciones. Por desgracia hay una banda que se dedica al robo en albergues y ahora está por esta zona. Entran de noche por lo que es importantísimo que se cierren los albergues por dentro. Desconfiad de una mujer rubia que va con una furgoneta azul. Esta denunciada bastantes veces pero la ley no puede hacer más. Es una pena llevarse este mal recuerdo a casa así que vamos a ponérselo difícil.

@nedelson, thats old news happily. The two persons suspected of conducting these robberies are in custody.

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.

Buen camino to you on the Costa da Morte!
