So I see this as a two part post I guess.
1) What happens if you arrive to a municipal albergue and it's full? For instance I get to Roncesvalles (I know that one is large, but just the first one that came to mind) and it's all full? Will other albergues/hostels be more expensive? Will I have to shell out big time for hotels? How would I find other albergues/hostels, and what if they're full? I've no idea how common it is for them to be full, just wondering.
2) Along the same lines, but let's say I make the trek from Najera to Granon to stay in the church parish loft there. What if I get 24 kilometers down the road and they're full? Now I'm no longer in a large town, so I don't think there'd be many other options to stay at. What happens then? Can't really keep going because it'd be around the end of the day, I would think. I suppose you could back track to Santo Domingo and hope they have one open but then you're backtracking.
Do the 'off the beaten path' alberques require reservations to avoid number 2 from happening? I know that, for instance, Orrion does, so do the others as well?
