Great breakdown of the different accommodation types. I too loved the Casa Rurals for character. I tended to stay at a private room every third night or so and was on a 5 day laundry cycle. I stayed at San Andres myself and the pool was an oasis after a hot day. I lucked out with Albergue Ultreia Castrojeriz and loved having dinner in an old winery with a tour of the Roman caves underneath. Thanks for the video. It's a great reference!
@@jonielvillanueva20 As I noted already, Albergue Ultreia Castojeriz....in Castojeriz the town. Try Googling it. And you gain access by the host/owner giving you a tour after dinner. I imagine there might be more in the town that have access as I saw a few passages that headed off to other places, but bet they're controlled as well.
I start my first Camino from Pamplona and I booked my entire journey in advance. I agree with you that it was fun choosing each location. I am looking forward to not having to give any thought to that as I walk each day.
@@staceyandmollypilgrims Could you perhaps add the names and links in the description please? Would be so helpful. May I ask how much you spent on accommodation in total, and how many days you did the camino in? Your daughter reminds me of my youngest. God bless
Thanks for your videos, I booked Molino Galocha after your video came out, I have also booked some of your other favorites. For my walk starting in 2 weeks time.
Great vidro and respect for your daughter. Walking the Camino being 12. If I look at my nephew who is that age. He would run away after two days or call child service on me😂
I leave from SJPP on May 18. I have all my rooms booked to Santiago. My first camino so I wanted to try a mix of accommodations. So I Booked Albergues with bunkbeds and also booked private rooms in Albergues. Some Hotels (no chain hotels just small hotels) and Hostals. This way if i'am fortunate to do another camino I'll have first hand knowledge would I would prefer. If I get injured or sick I'll just take a taxi to my next destination where I have a room booked as I have a return ticket so I have only so many days to complete journey. I booked a few places that you stayed at like Hotel En El Camino.
Thank you very interesting and balanced, loving the Casa Rurals what a unique experience. Hope the kittens are going well in the family, they looked so cute. Cheers from Australia.
First, thank you for your very informative and uplifting videos. I'm going to walk the Frances from Burgos and watched your video from Burgos to Hontanas to start...then I got hooked. You mentioned you had a list attached to this video of the places. Maybe I'm too old to find it (64), but if not, is there any way you could share again in the comments. Thanks again for your terrific work...and to finding more kitties along your journeys.
How flexible are most reservations? My concern would be getting thrown off the schedule (either by illness, injury, or exhaustion) and, even if you're a day off schedule, you'd have to rebook and replan everything.
Most were very flexible. I had it figured that if I had to make a change, I would lose two nights at the most - and that was really just the paradors. The others could mostly be cancelled a day in advance. They would be able to get re-booked, so it isn't a high risk in the busy months for the lodging location. You are right that if you get off by a day, you will have to re-book everything. In many ways, at that point, you could either re-book or go by the day. We took the chance that we could keep to the schedule, and it was never a problem. However, everyone's experience is different.... Buen Camino!
Ok So I love the places you showed, crazy amazing. I did the Saria to the end and stayed in hotels. My question is did you get thebpilgram experience along your way staying in so many private places along your way. Matthew. PS I have been fallowing you from your beginnings and love it. Thank you. I want to do the Portuguese rout next.
I'm curious why you think private rooms would detract from the "pilgrim" experience? Everyone does the Camino differently, according to their own preferences. There is no correct way experience it.
We have only done the Camino this way, so I don't know the other experience. We felt we definitely got the pilgrim experience, but I think that experience is different for everyone.
Was there somewhere that posted a list of all the places you stayed? If so, I can't find it. We are staying in several of the places you mentioned when we start our camino this July. We love to see all your places!
@@staceyandmollypilgrims I love watching you guys and wish I had walked the Camino with my daughter. So far, Stacey and Molly are my favorite Camino Videos. If you wrote a book I would read it. As per the places you stayed, It might be more helpful in a list form with the descriptions including costs and other information such as what amenities were included. I could see this in a spreadsheet form with the towns listed in the order of the stay. Heading: Name of Town, Name of Accomodation, contact info, Cost, Wifi, Beds, Bathroom, breakfast, dinner, distance from Camion, Rating, other comments. I love what you and Molly are doing and know you are inspiring many to take their next best step, again and again... Marcia from Ohio
It was mixed. I think we booked further ahead than was needed, but some of these would have needed to be booked a few weeks ahead. For others, a few days would suffice.
For your next journey to Santiago you may want to try another perspective? "10 Surprising Benefits of Walking Backwards" :) (I mean in certain stretches with no cars and stuff it would also provide you with new angles for your camera) . BTW thanks for the Camino Frances Videos I enjoyed them very much" ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZTruzy-rgoI.html )
Thanks for watching our videos. I am not surprised on the walking backwards thing, and I think I will try it. I have used that trick in long running in the past, and it does help a little. At some points, one will take any help they can get! Buen Camino!
