Do people time their start around Easter? How does Easter typically impact crowds starting in SJPP? In 2023 Easter was 4/9 and we started 10 days later. It was busy and had to mostly make reservations for a place to stay. Also, there were more people since many delayed trips due to Covid. Was frustrating.
Thinking of walking again in 2025 but Easter is 4/20. Would leave USA around 4/22 and start around 4/25. Would this be a busier time since late April is better weather or is starting at SJPP not as impacted by Easter as starting in Sarria? I assume Sarria is busy the week after Easter.
Also impacting crowds may be people walking now who delayed due to Covid and more publicity about the Camino in movies, etc.
Would starting that late in April also hit big crowds in and past Sarria since it will be late May when we get there?
Nobody has a crystal ball but what are your thoughts?
