A lot, mostly French people when I walked March April this year. Many were retirees. You’ll have no problems at all with gites, and every night is a communal meal. I can’t recommend it enough, it was a beautiful Way :)
Hi 👋 I’ve just finished the Primitivo and there are two Albergues towards the end where the hospitality and warmth are out of this world, as well as delicious communal meals. The first is in Bodenaya - Refugio de Peregrinos (I recommend booking in advance), and the other is A Pocina de Muniz...
I’ve just walked this route. Just keep in mind that it’s not at all like the CF, which if my memory serves me correctly, had food stops seemingly everywhere. It will definitely require a little more planning on your part, but nothing to be worried about! Mondays though nearly everything was...
I highly recommend the monastery as well! As for the ‘bed race’, I was up very early to race for a bed at the monastery as I’d heard there were few beds and it was very popular. I was one of the first there, but even late in the afternoon there were still pilgrims arriving and getting beds...

Hello Lisa, fellow Australian here. I’m currently walking the Le Puy route and brought a down jacket with me, as well as a fleece, rain jacket and long sleeve merino. 2 days ago I mailed the down jacket home.
