Restarting camino midway

Time of past OR future Camino
Frances sections in France (2005,2006) in Spain (2007, 2015)
I plan on restarting my Camino in Burgos where I had to stop in 2007. I am a retired woman who will be walking solo which I did during the other stages beginning in Le Puy en Velay. I am hoping to travel from the Madrid airport to Burgos on arrival day and then walking to Tardajos. Is it probable that I will have difficulty finding a bed arriving late in the day there? Advice on subsequent stops is welcome. The first few days I do not want to push myself too hard as jet lag and my senior citizen status have to be considered and I am so looking forward to not only reaching Santiago but continuing my journey.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
You don't write with month you are planning to walk, so it is more difficult to advice. You always could reserve a bed in La Fabrica http://www.alberguelafabrica.com/ to have a relaxed way from Burgos and they do have gorgeous food there! Alternatively there is Rabe just 1,5 km further on ... Buen Camino! SY
 
Thank you. I am planning to start end of the 1st week in May.I have not booked my flight from the U.S. yet. On my past Camino it was almost impossible to reserve a place in Spain. I will check out La Fabrica.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Things have changed now on the Camino, whilst I am fiercely advocating going with the flow for the most part of your Camino, I equally fiercely advocate to taking the stress out of the beginning and reserving your first night on route. Buen Camino! SY

Thank you advice I will follow.
 
Wishing you a wonderful camino, if arriving late I think it probably is safer to book ahead, unless you felt you would have the legs to walk on. I haven't walked that far 'yet' so I can't offer any further advice but to enjoy it.
Buen Camino

I had to return to Logrono last year after a back problem sent me home earlier in the year. I booked my first and second night in advance and just went with it the rest of the way.
Coming from the U.S. and a train to Burgos needs a "locked in" first night......having committed to a reasonable distance and reservation for the next night will make for a stress less start.

Thanks Brendan,
As soon as I work out the distances to do the first 2-3 days, I will reserve. The last time I was on the Camino it was almost impossible to reserve in Spain unlike in France.
