I am starting 10/18 from SJPP and plan to walk slow AF for 3.5 weeks. I plan to stay in hotels only. Do you think I will be able to hit hotels that are open outside the bigger cities. I am fine taking a car if things are starting to shut down.... Thanks for all your great content.
@@pattikeck7398 You should be fine. I think you'll probably loosen up a little bit on the hotel only requirement once you're there. You'll meet people and maybe want to stay where they are staying. Some of the albergues have private rooms, So you get your own space but you're still part of the group. I suggest you pre-book for the first few days, maybe up to Pamplona. That covers you until you get into the groove. I use booking.com app and the buen camino app to reserve.
Do tour groups have a preference for a particular standard of hotels or are they looking for the authentic albergue experience? I don’t think I’d have the energy to walk to the next town.
@@annetcell-ly4571 I'm not sure how they do it. I think maybe the tour companies have relationships with certain facilities. If it's a large group and they're staying in Roncesvalles, there's really only one place that can handle them. There's also the hotel next door and another smaller albergue and the town of Burguete is only about 3 km further. If you can get a reservation at the orisson, then the next day you could easily make it to Burguete. Better to just pre-book your first 3 days. You can go on the website for the main albergue to reserve. I had trouble using a credit card on their site but my debit card worked fine.
