      I started from SJPP on Sept 13 two years ago, and it was magical. Some warm days, cooler toward mid-Oct when I reached Santiago. I had my first week’s accommodations reserved before starting, and then used Booking.com to reserve out several days...

      I did SJPP to Santiago September 1-October 1, 2021, so I was pushing it fairly hard. Weather was a bit of a surprise: There were 9 or 10 misty/drizzly mornings where I wore a poncho for an hour or so. But the rest of the time was ideal for temps...

      I did it last year started mid-Sept and I find it quite pleasant, not too crowded until you hit Sarria. I start my day between 5-6 am and am done by noon as it still can get hot by mid-day. I was already out of SdC when the continuous downpour...

      It’s busy if you start in the beginning of Sept. crowds start falling off mid-September as most schools and unis are back in class. I walked mid-Sept to mid-Oct, SJPDP to SDC. Was perfect weather. Great company - crowded enough to have...

      I started September 25th last year, and had the most amazingly wonderful Camino, I'd suggest starting at the tail end. The only real crowds were for 2 days after Sarria, but totally avoidable if you wanted (get there not at a weekend like I...

      I walked last year starting in mid September. In 2023 it was still quite warm during the day (30C/90F) so I got an early start to get some kilometers in before the heat of the afternoon...

      Hostal Viky consistently gets good reviews - and include pick-up/delivery at the airport. I've slept there many, many times.
