I'm wondering if any other pilgrims walking now on the CF are finding problems with accommodation?
We have found ourselves grabbing the last 2 bunks three times since Burgos. Carrion was all booked last night and we had to book a hotel room. Today we tried to book ahead but they were full... We grabbed the last 2 beds in Ledigos. Is this just a bit of a bottle neck because of the bad weather? We didn't want to book ahead but wondering now if we should?
How is everyone else finding things?
Ps it's very sunny
We threw in a short stage on our Camino last year to break out of the wave of pilgrims walking Brierley stages. Similar time of year. Had no problems after that.
Definitely no problems from St Jean to Burgos. Two nights ago, the municipal in Burgos had loads of room left overI'm wondering if any other pilgrims walking now on the CF are finding problems with accommodation?

We experienced a busy time around the May Day weekend previously but this seems too early for that.I'm wondering if any other pilgrims walking now on the CF are finding problems with accommodation?

I'm staying off stages and places have been amazingly quiet. I started this past Thursday in Tardajos, only 2 of us in LaFabrica, which is a beautiful place with excellent food. Santa Brigida/Juan Ypres (now combined and also highly recommended, with great food) in Hontanas had a nice group but was not completo. There were 2 of us in a private albergue in Itero de la Vega last night, a few others in town. And now in Población, only 3 at LaFinca (gorgeous!) although a few more might have just checked in, and it's only 3 pm.
The early stages are busy, due to a local holiday and a couple of sporting events.
Roncesvalles filled up fast. Zubiri and Larasoanna were full last night with some people walking on to Pamplona.
But just a temporary wave I think.

Thanks for the update Peter. It’s definately interesting to see all the different information on here about how busy it is/isn’t.Yesterday I finished my first Camino, the CF. Found the route and accommodations not very full. Local food and accommodation providers bitterly complaint that the Camino is very empty, less than half of the business than last year same time.
As the recipient of those services, that resulted in good and generous services.
The reasons given by the providers was that the CF has become too popular and Pilgrims choose other routes, and the bad April weather.
I only struggled twice to find instant accommodation - once during the Easter weekend (5min later I had a place to sleep) and now in Santiago (30min to find a central albergue)
I mostly stayed at albergues except a few times when I shared better accommodation with a friend. Including when I needed a rest day when I had a fall and hurt myself.
