currently walking the Camino Portuguese from Porto to Santiago, have had absolutely no problems in Portuguese hostels but from Tui it's been a total night mare - couldn't find any beds in Tui, and again in redondela , called every listed hostel and eventually found two beds in an alburgue 4km before the town.
Today we got up at 5.30 and walked from six in the dark in order to arrive in pontevedra early enough to get a bed in a hostel but arrived to a queue around the block to get somewhere to sleep so walked into the old town to the tourist office and asked for a list of accommodation called every single one and all of them are completo, is this just an exceptionally busy year ? I have walked the Frances and never had a problem, never even encoutered a full hostel infact.
Thinking of booking somewhere in Santiago and trying to make my next three days into two somehow as I'm really not enjoying the race for beds( there was many other pilgrims running to get infront of us on the last 1km before the municipal alburgue)
