Is it necessary to book in advance in Arzúa?

Arzúa is the junction point of the Camino Frances, Camino Primitivo and the Camino del Norte, so demand is very high, especially in high season (May to September). We strongly recommend booking in advance to secure your spot and avoid walking extra miles looking for availability.
