We have our bookings all set for September both along the Camino Portugués and then from SdC -Muxia- Finisterre. I found there to be some differences between the prices I found on Booking.com with the same places referenced on Gronze. In general, prices seemed a bit lower on Gronze than what I was able to reserve at. And, in just two months time, the availability of places seems to have significantly decreased. People seem to be taking the possibility of the daily “bed race” seriously and making reservations. With private albergues, I have primarily contacted them by email to reserve beds/rooms with very good success. At places that don’t take reservations, arriving early in the afternoon has worked well for me, but that might also mean very early morning departures to get ahead of the crowd.
