Thirteen days in from an April 1st start and onward to the Meseta. When planning my camino I screwed up my dates and realized in horror that my arrival in Burgos was Saturday and the start of Easter week holidays. So staying in Burgos is not an option (hotels 3x the price if you can find one) and I'm sure the Burgos muni would be full early. Burgos is usually my "luxury stay" i.e. private bathroom!
So off to another 11km to Tarjados I trudged. La Fabrica (a fav) was completely prebooked but did get a bed at La Casa de Beli. Judging by the pilgrims here in the garden now, I'm sure its full too. In years past Tarjados would normally be a breakfast stop... hmm busy camino?
Btw I'm a little hesitant to say busy" after making a post on the APOC Facebook site and being greeted by the usual "camino always provides" or "try to stay mid stage" (you mean like Tarjados?) etc. Since these websites promote folks to transport their packs and walk shorter 10km sections, middle/quiet sections dont exist anymore... not complaining, just sayin'. Oh, and no more posts on APOC for me
A couple days ago in Belorado I thought the pilgrim traffic had spread out, but today I followed an Easter herd out of Burgo around noon, so thereyou go. If its crazy busy over the next few days a jump from Fromista to Leon and Oviedo for the Primitivo may be calling my name!
PS. Lots of choices in Belorado these days so thats good. Heard the magical Granon church albergue was full early, I Santo Domingo muni was busy but not overflowing to the old "house of snore" side.
