The entire street in SJPP where the Pilgrim's Office is located has numerous lodgings catering to pilgrims ... easily 6 or 8 and likely more. In the middle of September, with its lower numbers, finding a bed should be easy.maxthegirl said:I checked their calendar for mid-September. And I really want to stay there. Are there other amazing places to stay the night prior to the start? I was so hoping to get that classic sendoff.
My impression is that most do not make a detailed plan and then execute it without any revision. Instead, most have a hazy general idea, and then revise according to the weather, their health, the friends they meet along the way, and the interesting sites they want to spend more time exploring.maxthegirl said:Also, is it really bad behavior to not plan out how many km's a day and where to stay all along? I kind of want to just have my pack planned, but nothing else. Has anyone else done that?
As I understand it, you can get an Altus, but likely not the one you're looking for, as the new model is the victim of some unfortunate quality degradations. However, you can get a very good Ferino Trekker from Amazon.com; it is virtually identical to the older, better Altus.maxthegirl said:And can I get an Altus in SJPTP? Or is that something I really should plan in advance?

I started out like you, just wanting to walk what I felt like each day, stopping when I was tired. Instead I met a great family who I adjusted my walking to hang out with, they were so much fun.
If you really want to wing it, you can. At the start of each village is a big sign that tells you of the amenities available in that village - albergues, bars, water foutains etc. What I didn't know until halfway through the walk was that on the BACK of that sign is information about how much further it is to the next village and what's available there. This really is as much as you need to know - the only thing you'd miss out on is how much elevation you might have to climb to make that distance - ie how difficult it's going to be to walk it.
Hope this helps... Enjoy - it's an amazing ride!!!
