Hi @filly
I’m too far away to be any help to you.
very envious though -
From what I’ve read of others lucky enough to be on the way during this time - there appears to be accommodation options one way or the other at the moment.
stay safe and respectful .
- you should be okay.
Unsurprising as not only is it now the tourist off-season, but tourists have been very thin on the ground this year for the obvious reason, so that many touristy businesses etc. having no local patronage to rely on have kept shut.
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.
Municipal gîtes are generally closed due to Covid concerns. A fair proportion of private accommodation is closed where owners are fearful. Some places only take one ‘party’ of people so best to group up and book together. At Limoges the Sisters only allocated the rooms on every other day. As a result I have resorted to booking.com for instance in Bergerac and Sainte Foy La Grande. Due to reach SJPDP in ten days. Any Spanish info most welcome...
Staying near St Palais. Have met no other walkers let alone pilgrims for about four days. Weather appalling today with about three hours of heavy rain and string westerly wind. Hiked about 36 kms from Orthez. St Jean tomorrow after a late start (Saturday breakfast at the Logis is 9 am). I have not had a rest day so this makes up for it.

This is my first posting but as I look at the Camino, I worry about 'lack of solitude' given the number of people on the trail. I am looking to do the France route....as I want to have the...
The Burguete bomberos had another busy day yesterday. Picking up two pilgrims with symptoms of hypothermia and exhaustion near the Lepoeder pass and another near the Croix de Thibault who was...
Between Villafranca Montes de Oca and San Juan de Ortega there was a great resting place with benches, totem poles andvarious wooden art. A place of good vibes.
It is now completely demolished...
Left Saint Jean this morning at 7am. Got to Roncesvalles just before 1:30. Weather was clear and beautiful!
I didn't pre book, and was able to get a bed. I did hear they were all full by 4pm...
Hi there - we are two 'older' women from Australia who will be walking the Camino in September and October 2025 - we are tempted by the companies that pre book accomodation and bag transfers but...
