Time of past OR future Camino
September 2022
Looking forward to beginning the Portuguese Coastal the week after next, Porto to Santiago. How are people finding accommodation availability at the moment? Is booking in advance necessary? Any particular places that finding accom is proving difficult? On previous Camino’s I never booked anything as I prefer spontaneity but maybe that’s something I should reconsider this year?

Leaving Porto on 1 Sep and booked all my rooms already. Crazy but true.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

We are beginning our walk the Central route from Porto to Santiago 9 September and have our accommodations booked. We used Portugal Green Walks.
 
I am starting on Tuesday and booked everything in advance. I don’t normally do that but it seemed wise at this time of year.
Hello Jungleboy!!! 9 september I will start my Portuguese Coastal Camino
After your camino, do you think I should book?
Regards!!!
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

Unless you are anti-booking, I think it's a good idea. I stayed in three albergues (pre-booked), and two of them were full when I arrived (Bom Caminha in Caminha, and Estrelo do Mar in Baiona; the one that wasn't full was La Cala Inn in Oia).

These were my stages and accommodation:

Day 1: Porto - Vila Chã (26km) - Café Sandra (private room, €30)
Day 2: Vila Chã - Esposende (31.5km) - Eskama hostel (private room, €40)
Day 3: Esposende - VdC (25.1km) - Alex Point (private room, €42)
Day 4: VdC to Caminha (26.8km) - Bom Caminha albergue (private room, €45)
Day 5: Caminha to Oia (16.4km) - LaCala Inn (albergue dormitory, €20)
Day 6: Oia to Baiona (17.9km) - Estelo do Mar (albergue domitory, €16)
Day 7: Baiona to Vigo (25.3km) littoral - Pension Buenos Aires (private room, €45)
 
Thank you very much for your answer!!!
