Public holiday 01 May

[JWST]

Hola, wondering how having a public holiday on May Day (Monday 01 May) is likely to impact Albergue availability that night, I expect to arrive Logrono Friday 28 April and stay 2 nights, and then on to Nadjera? , am flexible with timing and don’t really want to book (other than Logrono potentially). Could arrive Logrono later…any thoughts appreciated

I would expect the weekend leading to the 1st May to be very busy. While it's a shorter weekend than usual (in Spain people tend to take the extra day when the holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday), it's still a long weekend. I would guess that places like Logroño will be busier than usual and not necessarily with pilgrims. The fact that it is only a 3 day break might mean that the usual bump up in pilgrims numbers might not be as large.

The main issue will be closed shops.
