Camino Primitivo, arriving in Santiago at easter week.

[MKalcolm M]

Hello,
My 14 year old daughter and I are starting out from Oviedo on the fourth of April, and flying home on the 21st of April. I am rather concerned about booking accommodation for the last few nights, as it is Easter week then, and by all accounts the camino is very busy. I normally just wing it on every camino, but I don't want to be looking for a bed with a tired teenager after a long days walking. We are wondering about doing the green route from Lugo which goes to Sobrado, then arrives at Santiago near the airport. Has anyone done this at this time of year and if so is it necessary to book ahead? Are there any recommendations for albergues along this way? If we stay on the normal route how neccessary would it be to book ahead after Lugo? Many thanks, M

I am planning to walk the same route in early May. I made reservations for every night. In many cases, I was getting the last bookable bed.ook ahead

I recommend you try to book ahead, or plan to revert to the occasional albergue if bookable private accommodations are not available.

Have arrived at the albergue in Oviedo and am glad I have my sleeping bag. There are a few blankets but with walls of stone I think that I will need a blanket to sleep!
