Sarria to Santiago in May

[laurahoy]

I will be walking Sarria to Santiago the second week of May. I have never walked the Camino, and I don't know how busy that segment of the Camino is in Mid-May. If I walk without reserving lodging, am I likely to find lodging each night? Thoughts from anyone who has walked Sarria-Santiago during this time of the year?

I had no problems finding albergues during that time last year except for Portomarin. There were lots of school classes on the camino then. I went to the next village and really liked the albergue there Casa Garcia in Gonzar.

Thank you. I will take note of Casa Garcia in Gonzar. Appreciate your help!

I don't know how busy that segment of the Camino is in Mid-May.

1,200 to 1,500 per day total; about 60% on the Camino Frances. Last year 9,633 left from Sarria in May.

it should be busy, you may want to book ahead.
however, there is usually another option a couple kilometres down the road and it is easy to call and find out.
good luck and Buen Camino
