ourense to santiago... how crowded is it right now?

[subbacultcha]

hello! is anyone going through (or recently gone through) ourense? i'm currently in lugo (walked here from san sebastian via norte/primitivo) and it's gotten really crowded as we approach santiago. the last few days have been races to make reservations in privados or score a bed in a municipal. i'm thinking of taking a bus to ourense instead and finishing from there, avoiding the frances. i've already walked the frances so i'd prefer to see something new. it's august so i'm sure that the last 100km of all routes are busy, but it'd be great to get some feedback on what it's like in ourense at the moment. thanks!

I was there 2 weeks ago. Plenty space.Plenty space thereafter as well. Make sure you go to Oseria. Plenty space there as well.

A much better choice than redoing the last of the CF.
Much more challenging, too.
