I’m planning my first Camino, the Norte, aiming to start as early as possible in March 2020. I’m looking for advice on how easy it is to get accommodation on the spot at this early time of year. Any other advice always welcome.

My only real kit dilemma is cagoule or poncho. I usually walk with a cagoule but can see pros and cons. Any views given route and season?

A really good quality poncho with Velcro tabs as well as a zip that covers your pack is my choice Easy on off and the choice of some airflow and keeps all of your pack dry.
