We have been calling for reservations the night before and this has been such a comfort as we walk so slowHi guys,
I was wondering what are the town's you found out that give you trouble finding a place to sleep on the frances? When I was walking it a month ago there where some full albergues but not entire towns with no accomodation left. What towns should people really book in advance ?
And yes, I do know that some of you don't like online booking, or calling in advance.
Thanks
Must have been the same day we were in Zubiri... We ended up sleeping on the municipal gym floor...concrete, no pad, cold night... but had great fellowship with other pilgrims in spite of (or maybe because of) the situation!Zubiri was booked out when we got there late April. And surrounding villages.

I agree. For my first two Caminos I would walk till lunchtime, rest and eat for a couple of hours, then carry on for a while and stop around 6 or 7pm. I never had problems in finding a bed even at that time of the evening. No longer a practical option for much of the year on the Frances. As I hate to commit myself to a fixed stage by reserving and resent having my walking day dictated and curtailed by the "bed race" I now prefer to walk other routes at less popular times of year. The inconvenience of a reduced number of open albergues is a price worth paying to avoid the three-ring-circus of the Camino Frances most of the year.I have always enjoyed the "I'm really not sure where I'll be staying tonight" aspect of the Camino. Magical and freeing.
Hi I remember my first camino in 2010 there was no beds whatever so a few of us went to the park nearby and tried to sleep on the concrete stage felt very hard after a few bottles of red wine and baPerhaps Portomarin. If you want to stay in a small private albergue I would book.
