Well, it had been a very quiet camino until Ponferrada but now it is super busy and a lot of people are rather upset.
In O Cebreiro now and the albergue was full by 2 and all beds in private establishments are taken.
People are still coming up the hill and there are a lot of cold, unhappy pilgrims trying to get taxis to other places. Apparently people have been told they can' t sleep in the church, which resulted in a lot of Spanish style shouting.
I guess this is what all the warnings were about. Still, we were about tenth and eleventh in the queue for the albergue when we got here at11.45. So leaving early and the fitness gained on previous stages is the key to getting places in the Xunta albergues.
Not evwn at Sarria yet, which people say is even worse. At least though, it wont be really chilly down there.
