Hi
We are planning on walking a section of the Camino Frances from Ponferrada to Santiago de Compestela in late October/early November this year.
As it will be outside of the peak season, we were hoping to get some advice on the following:
1. Would we need to book accommodation in advance (we are concerned that some alberques may be closed for the winter) or is it generally ok just to turn up?
2. the best way of getting from Madrid to Ponferrada to start our walk? We are flying into Madrid and have looked at different bus/train options but would be grateful for any recommendations.
3. Any particular accommodation options that you recommend for this part of the route?
Any other hints and tips would be much appreciated!
Thank you
Lizzie
