Theft reported in Casar de Cáceres yesterday (18th April). Pilgrim had money and passport stolen. Not sure if this is at all useful - but at least a warning to stay vigilant.

VdlP is also insanely busy - real struggle finding accommodation.

Thanks for the warning. Sometimes we aren’t as vigilant as we should be.
Yes ., I’ve noticed people are having to get ferried along in a few places. I think it’s mainly due to the Easter break. Rather I’m hoping that is the case. I’m planning to be in Casar de Cáceres in 2 days.
Was this at his accommodation or elsewhere?
Where did you stay there?

@OzAnnie , this albergue in Casár de Cáseres was the worst place I stayed on my VdlP in 2011. I arrived on a Sunday and the albergue was not cleaned, dirty and full of garbage, 2 showers and toilets to 30 people, people were sleeping in the small kitchen too. If I go back I would book at the Casa Rural on the entrance to town. The youngsters in town also seemed to have the plaza outside the albergue as the partying place so it was a bit noisy as well. It might have been like that since it was a musical festival for youth in Cáseres the night before and most peregrinos had to go on to Casár de Cáseres because there were nowhere to stay in Cáseres, but anyway it was really bad. Hope you have a nice time! Would love to go back! Buen camino!

I didn’t stay in Casar de Caceres as I had to stay two nights in Cáceres before I could move on (no beds!) The theft happened in the municipal albergue - and incidentally the friends who told me also said it was ‘un desastre’...
