Travelling Camino Portugues in July

Jilay said:

Hey everyone,
I am sure this question has been asked before but i was not able to find an answer that corresponded with the things that i would like to know.

I am travelling camino portugues in the first week of July, and i have not yet booked any accomodations or any alburgue. How necessary is it to pre-book ? Since i am travelling alone would it be easier for me to get an accomodation somewhere ?

Thanks,
Jilay

If you are planning to stay in municipal albergues and arriving by early afternoon you are likely to get a bed. (Municipal albergues generally can't be booked in any case, private albergues can). Getting somewhere later in the day, going somewhere popular like Casa Fernanda, or just having more certainty if that is important to you, then book ahead. The Brierly guide lists numbers or use an app like booking.com . Personally I like to book a first place to stay after travelling then see how it goes on a daily basis.

I also will travelling on July, arriving on the 20th, and start to walk on the 21rt . It is save to take a tent? I am travelling alone.
