I'm sure that each property has its own "rules" for offering pilgrim rates. Email or phone them to ask.Hi everyone,
I walked the Camino in 2015 and am re-doing the walk this coming 2020 with a number of people I met on that adventure.
When I did that walk I had booked Orisson but nothing else along the 'French Route.'
This time around I do want to mostly stick to this adventurous aspect but there are a few of the bigger locals I was thinking about booking into early for my rest days.
My question: As I understood it, during my first Camino, many hotels and the like offer discounted rates to pilgrams. Is this tradition still carried on? Can you book like this or are the "pilgram" rates considered to be for those coming in that day, 1st come 1st serve?
Thank you very much!
Yes, that's true. The Parador in Santiago offers their pilgrim rate all year round, it's a 15% reduction, see here. They offer the same 15% reduction to everyone else, from the 1st ofI think that all of the Paradors offer pilgrim rates.
I just booked the Parador yesterday for 2 nights in October for 324€. The only choice was with breakfast. If you sign up for their Amigo card you get better rates. Booking dot coms are over $200. I saw no cheaperYes, that's true. The Parador in Santiago offers their pilgrim rate all year round, it's a 15% reduction, see here. They offer the same 15% reduction to everyone else, from the 1st of
October 2017 [sic] until the 27th of December 2019, see here. That discounted rate is currently 141,96 € for 1 night.
On Booking.com - where we are so often told to contact hotels directly because it will be cheaper - you can currently book 1 night at the Santiago Parador for 95 €, or 120 € with breakfast included!
I've never asked for a pilgrim discount and I recall only two smallish hotels where I stayed at, one in the South West of France and the other in Navarra, that explicitly offered rates that they labelled pilgrim rates. San Martin Piñario in Santiago apparently has cheaper pilgrim rooms on one floor but I didn't ask for one of those when I stayed there. Their standard room felt authentic and austere enough for me.
Well that is a surprise. Back in 2015 when I stayed in the Parador in Leon and joined the Amigos I was advised that the pilgrim discount was not available in Santiago. Something about the numbers of pilgrims and tourists etc.I think that all of the Paradors offer pilgrim rates.
The queuing up for free food has been abolished. 10 tickets are now distributed by the Pilgrims Office to the first 10 pilgrims who get their Compostela and want such a ticket.Back in 2015
